While Chelsea fans will be disappointed to lose Silva, they will now eagerly await the start of the new Premier League season, with the fixtures having been officially announced.
The Blues have been handed a daunting opening run of games, with their first six fixtures including clashes against Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester City. It will be a baptism of fire for new manager Tuchel, who will be keen to put his stamp on the team and guide them to another successful season.
Chelsea will be determined to continue their impressive form in the Premier League, having won the competition in 2016/17 and 2019/20. However, they will face stiff competition from rivals such as Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United.
The club's fans will be hoping that Silva's imminent departure will not derail their title hopes and that they can secure another memorable campaign.
