Full story: Daily Mirror

What’s the story? PSG are making a serious attempt to push for victory in Europe.Does it make sense? Not really. Reports suggest that Roma’s wonderboy central defender Marquinhos is coming to Paris for £30m so that would mean Ivanovic playing at right back. Not necessarily a problem in itself, except that they’ve already got Jallet and van der Wiel there.Is the price right? Decent price for PSG but I doubt Chelsea would sell in this range.Will it happen? 3/10 – Not a need and Chelsea are already thin at the back.
