Chelsea defender Thiago Silva wanted by multiple Saudi clubs

Multiple Saudi clubs are interested in signing Thiago Silva and have made contact with Chelsea, according to a report on Football London.

The 38 year old Brazilian defender has one year left on his Chelsea contract after signing a contract extension back in February.

Despite Silva insisting recently that he will be a Chelsea player next season, several unnamed clubs from Saudi Arabia have contacted Chelsea over a possible move for Silva when the summer transfer window opens.

Silva has recently been linked with a return to his homeland of Brazil, with Fluminense said to be interested in the defender. However, he quashed those rumours earlier this month and insisted he was happy to see out his contract at Stamford Bridge.
