Chelsea left red-faced as Thiago Silva transfer plot fails with striker snubbing move

Paulo Dybala has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving Roma this summer despite Thiago Silva's best efforts at persuading him to join Chelsea. The Argentine star says he is "happy" at Roma and intends to stay at the club for the foreseeable future.

Speaking to LaRoma24, Dybala said: "I'm motivated for pre-season, which we're starting [on Monday]. My future? I'm happy at Roma. I'm staying here."

The Brazilian veteran bumped into Dybala at Silverstone ahead of Sunday’s British Grand Prix, and revealed that they had spoken about a potential move to Stamford Bridge.

"If he comes? I don't know, I asked him but he didn't want to tell me. I would like to have him at Chelsea, he is a champion. It would help a lot if he were to come."
