Several Saudi Pro League sides are interested in Chelsea's veteran defender Thiago Silva.

The Blues are keen on tying the Brazil international to a new deal.

Saudi clubs are monitoring the 39-year-old's situation at Stamford Bridge considering that his current deal is set to expire in June.

However, Chelsea are hoping to convince the former PSG and AC Milan star of sticking around for one more year.

Nicolo Schira reported: "Excl. - #Chelsea are ready to open talks to extend Thiago Silva's contract until 2025.

"Some Saudi clubs have approached the Brazilian centre-back during the summer transfers window, but his priority was to stay at #CFC." 

Thiago Silva has 125 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions in total so far.
