Chelsea transfer news
The experienced Serbian international, who is capable of playing as both a centre-back and as a full-back, has been an integral part of Jose Mourinho’s side over the last 18 months, while he’s also scored 31 goals in all competitions since joining the Blues in 2008.
However, the 31-year-old is now a target for the French champions, who knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League earlier this week, and are eager to strengthen their defensive options.
Ivanovic was recently offered a new one year £90,000-a-week deal, despite Mourinho requesting a longer deal for his player, and he could be convinced to move if he can get a better contract elsewhere.
