Chelsea are confident Thiago Silva will sign a one-year extension through 2024.
Silva\'s deal expires at the end of the season.
Speaking about the possibility of a new contract last week, Silva said: \"We are talking about it. Probably everything will happen in the next few days. My intention and the club\'s intention are the same: to stay together.
\"I know that the club needs me at this moment, I\'m here to help, there are young players. I think that with my experience I can help in this process of rebuilding the club.
\"I am here for this, willing to do this. But I know that my responsibility is huge. I know we have a lot of work ahead of us.\"
