Paris St Germain defender Thiago Silva and his agent have moved quicky to quash rumours claiming a deal has been agreed with Barcelona.
Despite regular claims from the Seleção captain and his representative that no summer switch is in the pipeline, speculation regarding a move to Camp Nou refuses to go away
Sky Sports are reporting that it is now being suggested that an agreement has been reached with Barca as the Catalan giants are known to be long-time admirers of the defender.
These latest reports have been categorically denied, with Thiago bemused as to where such stories keep coming from.
The Brazil star, who lead his country to Confederations Cup glory last month, and his camp insist that no discussions have been held with Barcelona and that there is no desire to bring an end to a French adventure after just one year at Parc des Princes.
A statement released on Thursday read: “Thiago Silva and his agent Paulo Tonietto deny any agreement regarding a transfer to Barcelona, as had been published by Spanish newspaper Sport.
“Besides, we reaffirm that no meeting or agreement with the Catalan club took place, and that the player is under contract with PSG.”
