Thiago Silva says he has asked Roma’s Paulo Dybala if he will join him at Chelsea and that he would be a “massive signing” for the Blues.
Reports in Italy have linked Chelsea with a move for Argentinian international Dybala, who reportedly has a release clause that allows him to join teams outside of Serie A for £10m ($12.8m). New Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino is understood to be a big fan of the 29-year-old and tried to sign him when in charge at Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain.
Silva told Sky Sport Italia on the Silverstone grid walk on Sunday: “I saw Paulo Dybala here, they [the media] talk about him coming to Chelsea. I’ve talked with him and asked him if he is coming. He is a world-class player. I would love to play with him and it would be a massive signing. Let’s see.”
