And Chelsea will be looking to lead the way after failing to add any players to their squad in January.
The Blues are reportedly set to make Eder Militao their top target as they aim to replace Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger.
The Brazilian's current club, Real Madrid, may just be keen to do a deal after reportedly splashing out on a mega-contract for PSG's Kylian Mbappe.
Former Chelsea player Glen Johnson is pleased Thiago Silva signed a new contract but he urged The Blues to tie up other stars.
Several players' contracts are expiring at the end of the season, including defenders Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta.
And although Chelsea extended Thiago Silva's stay by a further year earlier this month, there is plenty of work to be done.
Johnson told Bettingodds.com: "I don’t think Thiago Silva staying eases the pressure off keeping Rüdiger - I think Chelsea still need to sign Rüdiger to a new contract.
"Silva has only signed for another year and he can’t play every single week.
"They’ve done well to keep him but I think Chelsea need to make sure Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rüdiger are kept long-term as well.
"Silva has been fantastic since he came to Chelsea. Helping all the young players, the guy’s got experience coming out of his ears, and he’s still enjoying his football.
"It’s great that he’s signed another year.”
