– The 38-year-old has established himself as the leader of Chelsea’s defence since joining from Paris St Germain in August 2020 in what was initially seen as a short-term venture but has grown into much more thanks to the consistency of his performances.
– “I am honestly so happy to continue my career with the Blues,” said Thiago, who helped Chelsea to Champions League glory in his first season at Stamford Bridge.

– Chelsea’s January shopping spree included a £35million move for Benoit Badiashile from Monaco, adding to the numbers in the centre of defence, but despite the growing competition, securing Thiago for another year was still a priority for Chelsea.
– “We’re delighted that Thiago has decided to continue with Chelsea,” chairman Todd Boehly and co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali said in a statement.
– “He’s a world-class talent, as he’s proven over many years for club and country, and his experience, quality and leadership skills are vital to our vision going forward.
– “We’re thrilled he has extended his contract with us and we look forward to more success with him ahead.”
