According to Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are in pole position to sign Brazilian veteran Thiago Silva.
The 35-year-old bid goodbye to PSG after their heartbreaking Champions League final loss to Bayern Munich last night.
Speaking after the game, Romano revealed on Twitter that the Samba star is ready for a new challenge.
Speaking to Sky Sports (h/t Twitter), Thiago himself admitted that a number of teams are in discussions to take him on next season.
He denied that his entourage has reached an agreement with Fiorentina and will decide on his future in the coming days.
Despite his advanced age, Thiago showed he still remains a potent defender to deal with. He was at hand to nullify Robert Lewandowski in the final as the Polish star had an uncharacteristically scoreless night.
In fact, Silva will bring much-needed leadership to the Chelsea backline. Although he is not a long-term option, he could prove to be a shrewd move for us in the upcoming season.
