Transfer gossip: Marquinhos and Pastore linked again, Hazard tipped to stay

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Chelsea have yet again been linked with a move for Paris St-Germain defender Marquinhos, this time by the Daily Telegraph.

The newspaper reports that both Chelsea and Manchester United have expressed an interest in the centre-back, who turns 22 next month.

PSG are said to value Marquinhos at £50m and prefer a swap deal rather than a straight sale. Barcelona are apparently considering making a bid.

The Daily Mail reports that incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte thinks Eden Hazard will stay at Stamford Bridge.

It is claimed that Conte left a recent meeting with the Belgian believing that Hazard will still be with the Blues next season despite speculation about his future.

He has been linked with Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain, but the Mail suggest he is unlikely to secure a move to either club.

Meanwhile, the Daily Express once again link Chelsea with a possible move for PSG midfielder Javier Pastore.
