Chelsea in ‘advanced contacts’ with agent – Signing for Blues would ‘seduce’ player

Following reports from the Portuguese and the English press, it’s now time for the French media to link Chelsea to the Porto star Alex Telles.

Website Paris United brings a story saying Paris Saint Germain are interested in the player, as they look for a left-back for next season.

But the outlet considers this to be a difficult signing, since Telles’ new agent, Pini Zahavi, is in ‘very advanced contacts’ with the Stamford Bridge side.

Paris United says that Chelsea is a destination which would ‘seduce’ the player, and that’s why PSG have a second plan, which is Juventus’ Alex Sandro.

This news come a few days after the Portuguese media reported that Telles has switched agents. Newspaper Record pointed out that Zahavi was a representative who could make a transfer to the Premier League easier.

That report didn’t have anything about advanced negotiations, so Paris United seem to be the first who are breaking this story.

Since Alex Telles’ contract with Porto expires in 2021, the Dragons will do everything to sell him for a reasonable fee this summer. His release clause is €40m.
