Chelsea's centre-back Thiago Silva has revealed that he has had conversations with Paulo Dybala about a potential move to the Blues this summer.

Dybala, who has been heavily linked with a transfer to Stamford Bridge, is reportedly a target for Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino as he looks to strengthen his team's attacking options.

According to reports from Football London, Chelsea has already reinforced their forward line with the signings of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson.

However, the addition of Dybala could further enhance their squad.

The Argentine forward had an impressive season with Roma, contributing to 19 goals in his debut campaign under the guidance of coach Jose Mourinho.

Silva's discussions with Dybala suggest that Chelsea is actively pursuing the player and exploring the possibility of bringing him to the club to bolster their attacking firepower.

Silva wants Dybala at Chelsea

Silva has further fueled speculation that Dybala is a wanted man at Stamford Bridge after revealing he has spoken with the Argentine over a possible move.

Metro UK reports that Dybala is currently in England on holiday and has been taking in some huge sporting events.

The Argentina international has since linked up with Silva, with the Brazilian defender expressing his desire to play with the forward at Chelsea.

"I saw Paulo Dybala here, they [the media] talk about him coming to Chelsea," Silva told Sky Sport Italia, via Metro UK.

"I’ve talked with him and asked him if he is coming. He is a world-class player," he added.
