'I am trying to convince Silva to join Barcelona' - Alves

 'I am trying to convince Silva to join Barcelona' - Alves

Having acted as an unofficial liason to facilitate Neymar's €57 million move to the Blaugrana, the 30-year-old admits he trying to do the same with the PSG centre-back
Dani Alves has revealed he is trying to convince Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva to join him at Barcelona this summer. 

The former Milan centre-half recently admitted to discussing a potential move to the Liga giants with the Blaugrana coach Tito Vilanova following les Parisiens' defeat in the Champions League last season.

And Alves, who repeatedly championed the idea of signing Neymar, has seemingly set his sights on aiding the recruitment of another Selecao.

The attacking fll-back told Radio Montecarlo: "Silva would be coming to the best club in the world if he were to join.


"I have described the club to him and told him all the advantages he would find at Barca.

"We need to strengthen the squad considering all the competitions we have to play in."

Despite the reported interest, though, Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi recently warned off potential suitors by stating he intends to keep the Brazil international at Parc de Princes for the duration of his contract - which expires in 2017.

But Jovetic has struggled for form in recent weeks and has not scored since the end of March - which has led to some criticism on the terraces. And Toni feels this will have an adverse effect on Jovetic. "Stevan feels the Fiorentina fans treat him without love," Toni told a press conference. "Everybody says that the player's struggles will end when he starts scoring again. "The way I see it in this difficult period is that Jovetic is only supported when he is making a difference on the field. At the moment, there is no enthusiasm towards him - he does not feel loved."
