The Manchester United full-back is best mates with Manchester City’s Ousmane Dabo.
Fellow Frenchman Dabo needed hospital treatment after a training clash with Barton last season.
Newcastle, who signed Barton in June, made an official move to get Silvestre last week — but the defender will snub them as a sign of loyalty to Dabo.
Barton was quizzed by police after the incident that Dabo said left him looking like the Elephant Man.
England midfielder Barton did not play for City again and left for Newcastle a month later in a £5.8million deal.
He is currently on police bail while investigations continue into the brawl.
Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson is keen to offload Silvestre and will try to persuade his star to have a change of heart.
He has an ally in Dabo, who does not want his friend to blow the chance of a move to Newcastle because of Barton
