Terry urges Chelsea to re-sign Thiago Silva: I'm not saying he has to play every week...

Chelsea legend John Terry has called for the club to re-sign Thiago Silva as he plans a move back to England.

Silva is set to leave Fluminense in the January transfer window as he plots a move back to England to be closer to his family which includes his sons Isago and Iago who are part of the Chelsea academy.0

The Brazil icon signed for Chelsea on a free transfer in 2020 and quickly emerged as a fan favourite, having made 155 appearances in all competitions as the club’s key centre back.0

Speaking on TikTok, Terry has called for the Blues to make a move for Silva, which would see the 41-year-old become closer to his two sons and family who live in London.0

"Thiago Silva is available. Now, listen to me, a man with great experience, a man with a great relationship with our football club.0

"His two kids are in our academy, no doubt he's going to be back in London over here with his family for Christmas.0

"I would love to see this man back at our football club, playing alongside these players.0

"Now, I'm not saying he has to play every week, but just the experience he can bring, playing alongside someone like that…0

"So, Thiago Silva, back to Chelsea, that would make everyone very, very happy, me included in that, so who knows? I'm just throwing it out there. Thiago, we love you."0

Speaking during his Chelsea days, Silva admitted that it would be a dream come true to see his children play for the Premier League side.0

"For me, it would be a dream to see them play professionally at Chelsea. I love watching them, ultimately, and I try to help them as much as I can. 0

"I love seeing my kids playing here, my wife is here all the time and even wants to be at every away game. I think she realises that time is running out slightly, so she wants to make the most of the last few years of my career.0

"When I got here, it felt like love at first sight, to be honest, and I'm still very proud to be here."
