Chelsea boss Frank Lampard ‘handed boost in pursuit of Alex Telles with Porto ready to cash in on Brazilian international defender this summer’

  •  The 27-year-old defender is out of contract at the end of the next season
  •  Porto do not want to lose the Brazilian international left back on a free transfer
  •  Lampard is planning a summer clear-out with up to eight players set to leave

Chelsea could make a move for Alex Telles this summer as Porto are ready to cash in on the defender, according to reports in Portugal. 

The 27-year-old is out of contract at the end of the next season and Porto do not want to lose the Brazilian international on a free transfer. 

Portuguese outlet A Bola claims the left-back has signalled his intent to leave this summer by rejecting the offer of a lucrative contract extension.

Porto defender Alex Telles has reportedly attracted interest from Juventus, Chelsea and PSG

Frank Lampard is planning a clear-out with up to eight players set to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.

The futures of Marcos Alonso and Emerson are in doubt.

Juventus are ready to challenge Chelsea with a £21million bid for Telles.

Porto could look to cash-in on Telles soon with his contract expiring at the end of next season

Telles has a release clause of £33.5m, but Porto may be willing to sell him on the cheap as they look to balance their books.  

PSG are also reportedly interested in Telles, who has been a regular in the Porto side this season, making 32 appearances and scoring eight goals.
