Chelsea and PSG will go head-to-head over the signing of Porto wing back Alvaro Pereira, according to reports.
Andre Villa-Boas is looking for cover after they sold Yuri Zhirkov to Anzhi Makhachkala last week for £13million, and the South American was a regular under AVB, but the Blues won’t pay the £25million release clause being asked by Porto.
Liverpool have shown an interested in the left winger but were put off when they heard the asking price. PSG have also shown an interest in the 25-year old and will be looking to beat Chelsea to another target after they won the race to sign Javier Pastore.
Pastore was wanted by the Blues but opted for a move to PSG. The French side secured the mega-money move last month after he left Italian outfit Palermo for a fee thought to be around £35million.
