Brazilian youngster, Estevao Willian has come out to say that he has received a message from Thiago Silva ahead of his move to Chelsea. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the veteran defender spoke to him after the game against Fluminense, and he told him the Blues are waiting for him with open arms.
Estevao added that he wouldn’t mind wearing the number 41 jersey in England because that is what he currently wears in Palmeiras.
His words, “Thiago Silva spoke to me after our last game [against Fluminense]. He said that the club is top and they are waiting for me with open arms.
If they give me 41 [his Palmeiras number], it will be cool. Maybe in the future, I will play where I feel most comfortable, which is inside.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
