Transfer Rumour - Barcelona track Chelsea target
Spanish Champions Barcelona are reported eyeing Chelsea target Blaise Matuidi of PSG according to reports in the Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo.
The French international will be available for a cut price in the winter window as his contract runs out at the end of the season. Chelsea after losing out on reported targets Daniele De Rossi and Xabi Alonso have shifted their interested to the 26 year old who will cost lesser than their original targets.
The Parisians however are keen to retain the services of the holding midfielder and are reported to be in advanced talks with the player’s agent. If the contract talks don’t go as planned for the side from Paris, they are more likely to off load the player rather than risk losing him for nothing.
Premier League big spenders Manchester City are also reportedly monitoring the issue and might put forth a bid for the ex Saint Etienne man who has been in sublime form this season.
