Chelsea have joined Manchester United in the race to sign Paris Saint Germain defender Marquinhos, according to Daily Star.
The centre-back joined the French champions from Italian side Roma in 2013 for a fee of £23.2m but he had struggled to find a regular starting place, mainly down to the form of fellow Brazilian defenders – Thiago Silva and David Luiz.
Talk of a summer exit has since developed with Premier League side Man United keen to make a move, and his agent, Giuliano Bertolucci recently opened up about the possibility of him leaving Paris.
However, United’s interest in the Brazilian has now been joined by Premier League rivals Chelsea, who are said to be keen.
Marquinhos is currently valued at £30m by the French side, although they remain keen on extending his current contract at Parc des Princes to 2020.
