PSG have informed Presnel Kimpembe he can leave this summer.
L'Equipe says the defender, with a contract to 2024, has been informed he can leave PSG if the right offer arrives.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is keen, having worked with Kimpembe when PSG coach.
However, the Blues will face competition from across Europe, where Juventus and Atletico Madrid are also interested.
Kimpembe is dissatisfied with the fact that he is only the 13th highest paid player in PSG. He also has been left flummoxed by the problems regarding discipline within the squad.
As such, the defender is prepared to leave Paris this summer.
