But according to the Hull Daily Mail, Tigers officials David Beeby and Bronwen Walker want to make an early break for the 28-year-old centre-back before the end of the season by flying to Istanbul.
Former Wolfsburg, Roma and Lille star Kjaer has made 66 appearances for Fenerbahce since he joined them in July 2015.
He also has 59 international appearances for Denmark to his name, scoring three goals.
Silva, 39, admitted ahead of the Tigers’ crucial clash at Southampton he wants better organisation from his ranks.
