French outfit, Paris Saint-Germain are being linked with a summer transfer for Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.

The French giants have been in pursuit of the rock solid Serbian for quite some time now, but have been unsuccessful in their attempts till date.

New PSG manager Laurent Blanc is rumoured to be a keen admirer of the 29-year old, and is said to have placed Ivanovic at the top of his summer shopping list.

Center back by trade, Ivanovic has two more years remaining on his Stamford bridge contract but talks of an extension are already in progress.

The former Lokomotiv Moscow player is a firm favorite of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, having started him in 23 Premier League matches out of the 25 played.

According to reports, Chelsea are adamant on holding on to their versatile defender, and will reject all advances from the cash rich Ligue 1 side.
