Chelsea transfer blow with Alex Telles set to join PSG for £21.8m from Porto as Lampard turns to Ben Chilwell – The Sun

CHELSEA have been left empty-handed after transfer target Alex Telles reportedly agreed a summer move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Brazilian outlet Gauchazh – which has close ties to Telles’ former club Gremio – claims the defender is on the verge of leaving Porto after a £21.8million offer from PSG was accepted.

It means Chelsea will have to look elsewhere in their hunt for a new left-back despite Frank Lampard making Telles his top choice for the position.

The Brazil international’s Porto contract is up in 2021, making him available for a bargain fee this summer.

But it appears Chelsea have opted against battling PSG for Telles’ signature, with the 27-year-old now nailed on for a move to the Parc des Princes where he will replace soon-to-be free agent Layvin Kurzawa.
