that, during conversations with his
fellow Brazilian defender, the PSG
player was keen to join Camp Nou
this summer
Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva
wants to join Barcelona, according to his
friend and compatriot Adriano .
The Brazil international, 28, is widely
considered one of the finest centre-backs
in European football and has been heavily
linked with a move to Camp Nou this
summer from Parc des Princes.
The current Barca utility man believes
that his compatriot is keen to join the
Catalans but appears stuck at PSG due to
only having joined last season.
"He told me if he could come to
Barcelona would be a dream," Adriano
told RAC1. "He has always wanted to
wear the Barca shirt, we are friends and I
talk a lot with him. His arrival would be
very good news if Barca signed him.
"If it were up to Thiago, he'd be here. But
it doesn't just depend on him. PSG have
also invested heavily in him and, if Barca
want him, they need to find an
agreement with the club.
"We had more injuries last year than
other seasons but these things happen.
Whomever comes in to help us will be a
welcome addition."
However, Silva's agent Paulo Tonietto has
been quick to offer a rebuttal and denied
that there is a move for the defender to
the Blaugrana in the pipeline.
The representative said on Twitter:
"Thiago Silva and his agent Paulo Tonietto
deny the information referring to the
transfer of the player to Barcelona."
