In the last winter transfer window, the chelsea, team of defender Thiago Silva, made seven signings and spent almost 330 million euros (R$ 1.8 billion). Among the new reinforcements are the Portuguese João Félix, Andrey Santos, formerly of Vasco, and the revelation of the World Cup, the Argentine Enzo Fernandez.
With the amounts spent by the English club, Chelsea became the team that invested the most in a season with signings. The fact surprised Thiago Silva, who said he had never seen anything like it in his career.
“It shows the ambition of the team, how much the club wants to win. We had a lot of problems with injuries this year. Many players arrived and it takes time to prepare and get used to it”, said the Brazilian defender.
Chelsea did not have a good start to the season, with ups and downs that gave the London team 10th place in the Premier League. The arrival of so many signings shows the club’s attempt to rebuild. For Thiago, the reinforcements come at a crucial moment of the season and need to be ready as soon as possible.
“That’s what we need to learn from the lesson: try to fit in as quickly as possible, because there’s no more time and the Champions League it will start soon. We need everyone ready, on the same page. We won’t be 100%, but each one’s knowledge is important at this moment to create rapport”, declared the Brazilian.
Since 2020 in English football, Thiago Silva and Chelsea negotiate renewal for one more season.
