Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, sees Thiago Silva’s long and successful chapter at Chelsea nearing its end.
Silva’s absence due to injury in the recent 1-1 draw with Manchester City coincided with an impressive performance from young defenders Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill.
Contract Expiry and Future Focus: With Silva’s contract expiring at the season’s end and Chelsea needing to build for the future, Carragher believes the club should embrace the youth movement.
He suggests focusing on Disasi and Colwill as a partnership, potentially bringing in another young center-back.
Time to Move On? Carragher acknowledges Silva’s contributions to Chelsea but emphasizes the necessity to move on.
While Silva might recover for the Carabao Cup final, looking beyond that, Carragher concludes, “I think the days of Thiago Silva playing for Chelsea have got to come to an end.”
