Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt is keen to host friendly against Chelsea at the Maracana.
Bittencourt was impressed by Chelsea during talks to re-sign Thiago Silva.
We have a huge affection for Chelsea," he told reporters.
The way they treated us from the beginning of negotiations until the end, they were not intransigent at any time. They let him wear the shirt, they let him arrive sooner.
We are a club with origins in England, Fluminense was founded by English people, and we have huge affection for Chelsea. The way they respected us, they were very kind. I am a Chelsea fan in England and they showed impressive grandeur.
If, should it be allowed by the calendar, we can play a friendly match in England and they can come to play at the Maracana, it would be incredible to create a link between the two clubs."
