According to Tribal Football, Chelsea still remain interested in signing FC Porto left-back Alex Telles.

It was recently claimed French champions Paris Saint-Germain were leading the race to sign the Brazilian left-back but PSG are reportedly unwilling to pay the Brazilian’s €40million release clause.

PSG’s reluctance to meet Telles’ release clause means Chelsea still have time to see if a deal for Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell can be secured while Telles remains an available back-up.

However, Porto’s new stance on Telle might be tempting for the Blues as the Portuguese club are now only demanding €30m with the 27-year-old’s contract expiring at the end of next season.
