PSG plan bid for Chelsea defender Ivanovic

PSG are chasing Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic. The Daily Mail says not content with taking David Luiz for £50m, the French champions have Ivanovic back on the agenda after realising Chelsea will not offer him a new contract just yet.

The Serbia defender, 30, has two years left on his deal and is keen to tie himself to Stamford Bridge until the end of his career.

However, Chelsea's policy now is similar to other big clubs, where they will only offer one-year extensions to players of 30 or above.

That means any proposed talks will be shelved until next summer when Ivanovic has 12 months remaining.

PSG will bid around £15million for him should his relationship with Chelsea deteriorate.
