Paris Saint-German star Neymar has been linked with Premier League giants Chelsea over a possible transfer move this summer.
According to reports, the Ligue 1 club could sell the player in the ongoing transfer window if they receive a suitable offer.
Neymar's national teammate Thiago Silva further fuelled the rumours of Neymar's arrival at Stamford Bridge a few days as he was quoted by Globo, "He has to come to Chelsea. If he is about to leave [PSG], then he must go there.
"If it happens, then the expectation is the best possible one. We don't even need to talk about Neymar's ability. Besides that, he is a super friend. I hope this happens instead of only being something on the news, but I don't know anything about it."
