CHELSEA have been dealt a transfer blow with Presnel Kimpembe reportedly in talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a new contract.
The French defender, 27, is heading into the final 18 months of his current deal at the Parc des Princes.
In the summer, he was linked with a transfer away from the Ligue 1 champions.
He angered his club with comments in the summer hinting at a possible exit.
Chelsea appeared at the front of the queue and hoped to secure a £38million deal ahead of Juventus – although PSG wanted £60m.
