Thiago Silva reveals Zlatan Ibrahimovic conversations as Chelsea veteran aims to play into his forties

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has revealed conversations with Zlatan Ibrahimovic as he targets following in the veteran striker’s footsteps by playing past the age of 40. The AC Milan striker, who turns 41 next month, helped Silva’s old club win the Serie A title last season and the Brazilian, after turning 38 in the week, wants to prolong his career in a similar fashion. “I talk often with Zlatan and recently more often because Chelsea will play against AC Milan in the Champions League,” he told the club website.
