Chelsea facing uphill battle in bid to land Portuguse wonderkid Bruma
CHELSEA could be scuppered in their bid to prise Bruma from Sporting Lisbon.
The 18-year-old who has been likened to Cristiano Ronaldo was the subject of an £8m bid from the Blues earlier this summer.
Turkish giants Galatasaray were also perspective suitors although their interest appears to have cooled as of yet.
However, free spending French giants Paris Saint-Germain are ready to sneak under the radar and scupper Chelsea's interest.
Reports emanating from Portugal have it that PSG are monitoring his situation and will make a move once his future becomes clearer.
Sporting and Bruma's representatives have been wrangling over a new contract which has seen talks over his future reach an impasse.
Bruma has expressed his desire to cut his ties with the club, and Sporting could cash in on him.
Manchester City, Inter Milan and Marseille were also tracking Bruma.
