Chelsea Extend Thiago Silva And Olivier Giroud Contracts Until June 2022

Thiago Silva joined Chelsea on a one-year deal from Paris Saint-Germain last summer in free transfer; Olivier Giroud also signs one-year extension despite transfer interest from AC Milan; European champions also confirm goalkeeper Willy Caballero will leave club at the end of the month.

Chelsea have triggered the option to extend Thiago Silva and Olivier Giroud's contracts at the club for a further year.

The Brazil defender and France striker were both out of contract in the summer but the club have exercised their option to keep them at the club for another season.

Earlier on Friday, the newly-crowned European champions announced they have also extended head coach Thomas Tuchel's deal, with his new contract running through to June 2024.

Silva, 36, joined on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain last summer and impressed in his first season at Stamford Bridge, featuring in 34 games across all competitions.
