Pics of Thiago Silva mocked up wearing Chelsea shirt emerge amid transfer pursuit

Another also has Silva wearing the Chelsea shirt, while also mocking up a transfer announcement from the west London giants.

And a third shows the Brazil international in Chelsea colours, while a big Blues flag is in the background.

While Chelsea are hopeful of landing the 35-year-old, Fiorentina have also emerged as potential suitors for the veteran.

But Silva shut down talk of a move to Serie A, insisting there was no agreement by saying: “This was my last match at PSG. I am sad.

“I apologise to the supporters. I want to thank all the fans for their love. […] I want to play for three or four more years and be at the World Cup in Qatar.

“Now I have to look for a new team. Fiorentina? Reports of an agreement are not true. My agent is talking to them and other clubs but nothing is signed yet.
