Paris Saint-Germain are in talks to sign highly rated Porto left-back Alex Telles, Goal can confirm, with the French champions moving to secure the services of the 27-year-old as he edges closer to the final year of his current contract.
Recent reports had suggested an agreement of €25 million (£22m/$27m) had been reached between the two European sides, but there are still details to iron out before Telles can look forward to lining up alongside fellow Brazilians Marquinhos and Neymar at Parc des Princes.
Indeed, sporting director Leonardo has been locked in negotiations with the player's entourage for the past few days, but both Telles and his club are yet to fully reach an accord with Thomas Tuchel's side.
