While Antonio Conte’s reported standoff with Diego Costa could mean more playing chances for Michy Batshuayi, the Belgian continues to be linked with a move away from Chelsea.
The 23-year-old, once again started on the bench against Leicester City despite Costa’s absence, and was only given a chance very late in the match.
French newspaper L’Equipe recently reported Paris-Saint Germain are keen on signing Batshuayi in January, as they’re looking for a striker to support Edinson Cavani.
Paris-Saint Germain boss Unai Emery is reportedly a big fan of the former Marseille star, and has requested Patrick Kluivert, who is the club’s director of football, to sign him.
The Ligue 1 giants have reportedly already contacted Chelsea a couple of times with offers, albeit loan offers, to sign the Belgian forward, but the London side are reluctant to let him go.
According to a latest report from L’Equipe, Paris-Saint Germain still retain an interest in Batshuayi and are not willing to give up so easily.
The French newspaper say several European clubs have positioned themselves to sign Batshuayi this month, but it remains to be seen if Chelsea would change their decision.
The 23-year-old has managed just 87 minutes of league football this season, but Antonio Conte has insisted several times that Batshuayi remains an important part of his project.
