PSG drops interest in Batrakov, Chelsea and Manchester United eye transfer

Paris Saint-Germain has pulled out of discussions to sign Russian midfielder Alexei Batrakov, a target for the summer transfer window. The club's sporting director, Luis Campos, reportedly lacks conviction in Batrakov's development, prompting PSG to shift focus to other recruitment options. This decision opens the possibility for Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, to pursue the player. However, complications from UK sanctions on dealings with Russian clubs may complicate any potential transfer proceedings.
