Thiago Silva Helps Chelsea In Pursuit Of Neymar

Neymar’s future at Paris Saint-Germain continues to make headlines as the French side look set to embark on a new direction focused on Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.

The Brazilian appears to have received the message, as word of his displeasure with club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has leaked.

As a result, a divorce is possible, with Chelsea now emerging as a possible landing spot for Neymar.

A move to Stamford Bride would allow him to reunite with compatriot Thiago Silva, who also left the Parc des Princes to continue his career.

The move certainly worked out for the defender, who won the Champions League with the London Club in 2021.

“They didn’t offer me anything, not even one euro,” Silva said at the time. “Nothing at all. It was very annoying.

“They had three months to plan my farewell, but nothing was done.

“I wasn’t there for one season or a few months, I was there for eight-years as a captain who lifted many trophies for the club.

“I deserved much more respect than that. The same thing happened to [Edinson] Cavani.”

Now, Thiago Silva is doing all that he can to bring Neymar closer to Chelsea.

At a recent event in Recife, the defender didn’t hide his wishes.

“He [Neymar] has to join Chelsea,” Thiago Silva said. “If it happens, it will be the best thing. Neymar needs no comment.

“So far, I don’t know anything, but I hope it comes to fruition.”

Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona in the summer of 2017 for a fee of 222 million euros.
