Paris St-Germain have reportedly made a bid for Chelsea target Leandro Paredes, according to Sky Italia.
The French giants are said to have bid in the region of £35m for the Zenit St Petersburg midfielder, who has attracted interest from Maurizio Sarri.
Paredes was a target for Chelsea as they look for a replacement for Cesc Fabregas, who recently moved to AS Monaco.
Chelsea were pushing hard for a deal, as per the report, but PSG now seem intent on sealing a move for the midfielder.
Thomas Tuchel’s side are said to be keen on Paredes to replace French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who is out of contract this summer.
The Argentinian has made 20 appearances in all competitions for Zenit this season and has been very impressive, leading to speculation of a move to one of Europe’s elite sides.
Chelsea were hoping to complete the £31m signing of Paredes alongside Argentinian compatriot Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus, but now things may have taken a turn.
