Man United and Chelsea eyeing PSG ace

Premier League sides chasing star defender

It’s thought that Manchester United and Chelsea are both chasing PSG defender Marquinhos.

It’s thought that the French champions are only interested in negotiating a swap deal with the clubs, as they themselves are eyeing a few players from both Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge. It was clear that PSG tried to sign Memphis Depay, and their interests in Eden Hazard at Chelsea is long-standing.

Marquinhos has in the past expressed his frustration at being behind Thiago Silva and David Luiz in the pecking order.

Marquinhos became the most expensive teenager in world football when he joined PSG for 31.4million euros (ÂŁ25million) in 2013 from Roma, signing a five-year deal.

PSG are set to make changes this summer with players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Maxwell and Thiago Motta – all in their 30s – out of contract and set to leave and Edinson Cavani likely to be sold. This would pave way for new talent, which is where the swap-deal involving Marquinhos could be important.
