When THIAGO SILVA went to Chelsea’s Cobham training ground this week, he was greeted like a hero.

When his contract finished at the end of last season, the veteran Brazilian left Stamford Bridge with a heavy heart.

The stylish centre back made Chelsea’s staff very happy when he dropped by for a quick visit on Tuesday.

She wrote on Instagram, “It’s always nice to come back to this special place.” Thanks for always being there for me.

“We both feel the same way. I’ll see you soon! “

The 39-year-old signed a two-year deal with Fluminense in his home country of Brazil. For now, his supportive wife Belle is living in London.

They have two boys, Isago (15) and Iago (13), who are both on the books at Chelsea’s academy.

In another social media post, Silva told his family, “It was great having you all here for a few days.”

“We’ll be back together soon.” I love you all and will always do my best. ️”

Some Chelsea fans wrote, “There’s only one Thiago Silva! “, happy to see their cult star back in Surrey. “So happy to see him back.”

Frank Lampard also liked his post and wrote “.” Another fan said, “Our legend is back home.”

Silva cleaned out his private box at Stamford Bridge in August, ending his four-year stay in West London.

When the 39-year-old man’s wife Belle took one last video of the now-empty room in SW6, she was very upset.

The month before, she wrote on Instagram, “Four years at Chelsea with @thiagosilva have been an amazing journey full of moments I will never forget.”

“Thankfulness and love fill my heart for everything we’ve been through together. You’ve been more than a team to us, Chelsea. You’ve been like family and a home away from home.

Belle made a lot of controversial social media posts last season, which made her the most vocal Wag in the Premier League.

Silva also wants to make a stunning comeback to Chelsea when he’s done playing football.

But Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly, who own shares in the Blues but are not in agreement, want to buy each other out.

They no longer get along professionally and can’t work together because decisions are made by a group where both of them have equal power.

Silva moved to Chelsea from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020. He had previously played for three years at AC Milan.

Schwartz won the Champions League, the Club World Cup, and the Super Cup while he was in the Premier League.
