Alaba's financial claims keep him away from Chelsea

Thiago Silva hopes to extend his contract with Chelsea, but everything will depend on what happens with Alaba. The veteran Brazilian defender has five months left on his contract and hopes to renew one more year, something that in principle will occur except for injury or some last minute unforeseen event. Thiago Silva has a great weight in the club, despite not speaking English fluently. In addition to that their experience and professionalism in a young staff are highly valued.

According to the Telegraph newspaper, Tuchel's busy schedule has still prevented him from dealing with the contractual issues of the workforce, But, given that he already wanted to retain Thiago Silva at PSG, when both met at the French club, it seems very strange that now he does not give his approval to the renewal of the Brazilian.

In England they believe Thiago Silva's continuity will not influence Chelsea's interest in Alaba, but The almost 23 million gross euros that the Bayern central defender intends to collect are the main obstacle for the defender to end up signing for the London club. The English club could only cope with his signing if the Austrian footballer agreed to lower his financial claims.

The Telegraph also points out that Madrid are the best placed team to take over the services of the Bayern defender, sGoing the white club a great rival so that the French can land at Chelsea.
