Thiago Silva ‘will fit’ in Premier League says pundit
Paris Saint-Germain could hand a new contract to Chelsea transfer target Thiago Silva if they beat Bayern Munich in Sunday's Champions League final, according to French football expert Julien Laurens. Experienced PSG captain Silva is set to leave Parc des Princes when his contract expires after the match in Lisbon. Everton were linked with the 35-year-old but Express Sport understands Chelsea have held advanced talks over a free transfer.

"I think there's other clubs, plenty of clubs, who have made offers for him.
"Fiorentina being another one, clubs in Brazil, I think even PSG are still thinking about maybe offering him another year or a one-plus-one sort of contract, especially if he wins the Champions League on Sunday night.
"So I think this one would be quite challenging for Chelsea, far more than Havertz and Chilwell because Chelsea are the only club right now in for Chilwell and Havertz and ready to pay that kind of money for those kinds of transfers.
"So I would say Chilwell for sure, Havertz probably, Silva still in the balance."

"I’d be amazed if he was still there by the end of this window. But lots of clubs should be looking at him."
