Alex Telles agent hints at Chelsea interest

But it could be of no use now.

The Brazil global departed after only a season at Stamford Bridge, having failed to dislodge Cesar Azpilicueta as Jose Mourinho’s first-choice on the left side of defence.

However, one potential stumbling block over any deal could be a work permit as I’m not sure how easy it will be for him to gain a UK Visa as Telles is yet to earn a single cap for the senior Brazilian national team. “He is happy in Istanbul, he loves the city and so do his family but in football you never know what can happen, maybe some clubs have made contact but not in an official capacity,”.

Chelsea continue to hunt for a new left back following the sale of Filipe Luis to Atletico Madrid, and on Friday, we’ve got some fresh quotes about the Blues’ interest in Galatasaray fullback Alex Telles. He revealed that he has indeed received offers from other clubs, although there’s nothing concrete in it to announce publicly.

But Turkish newspaper Fanatik claim PSG are also keen to sign Telles and are ready to make an opening offer.

The Brazilian only moved to Turkey in January 2014 from Gremio but he was hugely impressive for Gala during the second half of last season and it appears his potential has alerted Chelsea. PSG could be interested though in signing Telles, should the Paris giants manage to sell Lucas Digne in the summer.
