Chelsea defender Thiago Silva is hopeful that national teammate Neymar could soon join him at the Stamford Bridge.
Spending his holidays in Brazil, the Blues’ star today attended to a
sponsor’s event in the city of Recife, and had a word with the local media.
Silva
was asked about the future of Neymar, with many rumours from the Spanish media
today claiming that Paris Saint Germain do not count on the player for the
upcoming season.
The
Chelsea player then claimed he’d like the PSG forward to join him in London,
even though he makes it very clear there’s no inside information on those
chances.
“He
has to go to Chelsea. If it happens, it will be for the best. He needs no
comments… So far, I don’t know anything, but I hope it comes to fruition”, said
Silva (via JC).
Neymar
has been linked to a move out of PSG for a few months now, and Chelsea, among
other Premier League clubs, have been named as some of those who could afford to take him out of the French capital.
Chelsea
notably tried to sign the Brazilian back in 2010, when he was still an exciting
prospect at Santos.
At
the time, the South American club made a press conference to say the offer was
turned down and announced his contract renewal
