Thiago Silva is reportedly willing to extend his Chelsea deal – but David Alaba’s wages are a problem for the Blues.

The 36-year-old centre-back Silva has impressed after joining on a free from PSG in the summer.

New Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is a fan of his experience and leadership.

And Fabrizio Romano reports that Silva is keen on signing a contract to stay at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of the season.

But the Blues face a massive hurdle in their bid to lure Alaba from Bayern Munich.

The 28-year-old is in the final year of his contract with the German giants and set for a free transfer this summer.

But his £400,000-a-week wage demands are a problem for Chelsea, the Telegraph reports.
