Thiago Silva has now urged his Brazil team-mate Neymar to join him at Chelsea this summer, MySportDab reports.
Neymar is currently being linked with leaving Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are said to be one of the clubs interested.
Only Chelsea and a few other clubs can afford his expensive wages and everything.
While on holiday, Chelsea defender Silva answered a question about Neymar in Recife.

‘It will be great if it happens. He needs no explanation… I don’t know anything right now, but I hope we make it possible’.
Chelsea tried to sign Neymar in 2010, but failed as Brazilian club Santos rejected their offer.
Three years later, Neymar joined Barcelona and spent four years at the club, winning the Spanish La Liga title twice.
He later moved to PSG in a deal worth around £200million.
At PSG, Neymar has won four Ligue 1 titles in five years, but the club have told him that no longer want his wages on their books.
PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi gave a massive hint by refusing to say that Neymar is part of the plan for next season.
