Neymar to Chelsea: His fellow coutryman Thiago Silva reacts

Chelsea centre-back defender and Brazil international Thiago Silva has reacted to Neymar’s possible transfer to Stamford Bridge this summer.

Silva, who is Neymar’s international teammate with the Brazil national team said it would be for the best if the Paris Saint Germain joins the Blues.

Neymar’s current contract with PSG doesn’t expire until 2025, but the 30-year-old Brazilian has been linked with a move away from the French Ligue 1 champions this summer.

The report claims that Chelsea and the Italian side Juventus are interested in making Neymar their summer signee.

PSG are also willing to sell Neymar for a cut-price fee of €90 million.

Speaking to JC (via Sport Witness), Silva said, “He [Neymar] 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.”

Chelsea have been linked with numerous players this summer but so far they are yet to complete a deal for any of them.
