An agent representing Galatasaray left-back Alex Telles has confirmed his client has been the subject of interest from both Chelsea & PSG, according to Eurosport.
The 22-year-old Brazilian has impressed since leaving Gremio for the Turkish capital 18 months ago and played a key role in his side’s Super Lig title triumph in 2014/15.
Telles has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea, where he’s been seen as a possible replacement for Filipe Luis following the 29-year-old’s move back to Atletico Madrid (Gianluca di Marzio via the Daily Star).
Jose Mourinho is said to also be an admirer of Augsburg’s Ghana international Baba Rahman (via The Guardian) though any left-back signing will have to battle hard to force Cesar Azpilicueta out of the Chelsea starting eleven.
