Paris Saint-Germain to match Chelsea for FC Porto defender

Chelsea may face serious competition from Paris Saint-Germain for FC Porto defender Alex Telles, as per a report.

The Blues are willing to sign the Brazil International as a perfect choice to plug a concerning position.

It was recently asserted that Chelsea were in a strong position to sign Alex Telles as Pini Zahavi, who has played a significant role in Premier League transfers before, is presently going about as the 27-year-old’s agent.

Frank Lampard’s men seem to have been dealt a huge blow as Le 10 Sport recommends that PSG have joined the race for Telles.

FC Porto want around €30m (£26.87m) for the defender, however, it could price the Parisians out of a move.

Alex Telles has made many appearances for the Portuguese giants and has been consistent for four seasons at the Estadio do Dragao.
