Chelsea boss Antonio Conte joins Manchester United in £25m race for PSG star Serge Aurier
Premier League champions make enquiry for Ivory Coast right-back as French giants consider £27m sale
CHELSEA have contacted Paris Saint-Germain over the availability of Serge Aurier.
The Ivorian appears to be on his way out of the French capital this summer.
And Le10Sport are claiming that the Premier League champions have now joined Manchester United in the race for the star.
The 24-year-old right-back is likely to cost around £27million.
However, the troublesome PSG ace comes with baggage.
Aurier is currently BANNED from entering the United Kingdom after assaulting a police officer.
He has been unable to travel to face Arsenal in the past during the Champions League due to his ban.
But he has appealed to have that restriction lifted and should discover the outcome in the next few weeks.
