Lyon chief Juninho admits some frustration missing out on new Chelsea signing Thiago Silva.

The former PSG captain joined Chelsea in a Bosman deal, though Juninho admits he'd like to have worked with his fellow Brazilian.

He conceded to RMC: “I dreamed of it. I tried to reach him several times. I spoke a little with his agent at the beginning but I understood straight away that it was impossible, I could tell him: play 22 games, stay two years with us and then we might be able to find you something thing here to start a new life.

"I thought about that and talked to President Aulas about it, telling him that such a project could perhaps be interesting for him, because he is passionate about football.

"But it was not possible for us."
