“Agent” Silva tells Neymar via O Globo: “He has to go 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.”
