Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Chelsea linked Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi, according to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport.

Bernardeschi, who has been in fine form for Fiorentina in the present campaign, scoring 14 times and setting up five goals in 41 appearances in all competitions, has been heavily linked with leaving the Italian outfit this summer.




The 23-year-old’s present contract with Fiorentina is set to expire in 2019 and La Viola have been attempting to convince him to put pen to paper on a new contract.

Fiorentina have not succeeded in their efforts, with the Serie A club considering selling Bernardeschi at the right price at the end of the season.
 


The Italy international is of interest to Chelsea, while Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester United have also been mooted as keen.
