Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt has again declared they want to sign Thiago Silva.

The Copa Libertadores winners are eager to bring the Chelsea defender back to his old club in 2024.

The 39 year-old is off contract at Chelsea in June and Bittencourt said: "I continue with this desire to bring him in.

"For the brilliant player he is, for his high performance at his age. That he's a great Tricolor.

"I'm sure that one day he could play for Fluminense again."
