The Argentina international is understood to be considering his future at Stamford Bridge following the departure of Enzo Maresca on 1 January and Paris Saint-Germain have already initiated contact with his representatives to gauge the possibility of a transfer.

Real Madrid are also interested in signing the 24-year-old and Los Blancos have reportedly received encouragement that a deal will be possible this summer.

Oleksandr Zinchenko deal close

Eredivisie side Ajax are close to signing Ukraine international Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has had an injury-hit campaign on loan at Nottingham Forest.

Zinchenko was signed by Ange Postecoglou but has twice been on the sidelines with injury, and by the time he returned to fitness, Sean Dyche was in charge of Forest.

With his prospects of game time looking scant, Arsenal are ready to recall the 29-year-old before sending him to Ajax, according to Sky Sports.
