It looks like the end of the road for Thiago Silva at Chelsea, the 39-year-old Brazilian defender has played four seasons at Stamford Bridge and has seen the club fall from champions of Europe to Premier League mid-table side.

Now ESPN Brazil is reporting that even at 39, Silva still has suitors for his services as he has started many games for Mauricio Pochettino this season.

The report indicates that MLS side Orlando City, Saudi Pro League side Al- Nassr, and Fluminense are all looking to the former AC Milan and PSG defender to command their backlines.
