Thiago Silva has been one of the standout players in Chelsea’s defence since he arrived at Stamford Bridge on a free transfer in 2020.
After playing a vital role in helping the Blues win the Champions League and UEFA Super Cup last year, the centre-back was offered a new deal in January. His current contract at the west London club expires in 2023.
Despite having more than a year left on his contract, reports in Italy have talked about the possibility of the 37-year-old joining Napoli in the next window.
Tommy Esposito is the producer of Calcio, Amore e Fantasia, broadcast on Piuenne.
He went on-air to claim that he has found out the Brazilian has asked Jorginho about the Naples club. The Chelsea midfielder spent time with the Serie A side before arriving in the English capital, and Esposito’s claims are relayed by Area Napoli.
“Thiago Silva to Napoli? Knowing certain mechanisms within the club, I would rule it out,” Di Marzio said, as quoted by Area Napoli.
“Usually, the president De Laurentiis does not take players of a certain age, it would seem strange even considering the limits of salary given that the Brazilian does not take little [salary].”
