The time is right for both parties to go their separate ways with Silva coming towards the end of his career and Chelsea needing to continue their rebuild under Mauricio Pochettino. The former Paris-Saint Germain man sat down to give an emotional farewell to the fans and admitted he hopes to be back with the Blues in a different capacity in the future. His children will be staying in England to continue with the Blues' academy.
WHAT BELLE SILVA SAID
In a video posted to the social media platform Instagram, Belle ranted about the "false information" circulating and said people are ruining the future for her husband. She said: "Help me help you! You don't know anything! This anxiety is getting in the way of things that could work out! You're getting in the way! Stop posting false information!"

Silva had previously been tipped for a move to Manchester United but his high wages and age may put the Red Devils off a late approach. The 113-cap international spent two years as a youth player at Fluminense before catching the eye there as a senior player six years later, earning him a move to AC Milan. A reunion in Brazil looks inevitable before the defender hangs up his boots for good.
