Silva has helped win the European Super Cup and the European League.

Silva spoke to the website after signing his deal and said it was a pleasure. I'm very happy to stay for another season because I never thought I'd be here for three years.

I would like to thank my family, the club, Marina, and Mr. Roman Abramovich for this opportunity.

Antonio Rudiger, who is out of contract in the summer, is said to be a target for Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and other clubs.

After the end of the season, he is free to talk to foreign clubs about a possible move, but he will have to wait until the summer.

The German international's camp has not ruled out the possibility of him remaining at the club.

At the start of the season, the Blues' most recent offer was rejected by the player and his representatives as it promised to pay him only half of what the club's top earners make.

The January transfer window closes at 11pm on Monday January 31.
