Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly considering a loan move for Chelsea winger Estevao after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury.
The 25-year-old Georgia international suffered the serious knee injury during PSG’s 4-2 Champions League victory over Barcelona, leaving manager Luis Enrique short of options in attack.
Senny Mayulu and Mika Godts were given opportunities in Monday’s 2-0 Ligue 1 win over Lyon, but Enrique is understood to want greater attacking strength as PSG deal with the loss of Kvaratskhelia.
According to Foot01, the French club are interested in taking Estevao on loan to help fill the role of the injured winger. The Brazilian has found regular first-team football difficult to secure at Chelsea since the arrival of manager Xabi Alonso and has not started a Premier League match this season.
However, Chelsea have no intention of allowing the 19-year-old to leave on a temporary basis, according to the report.
The Premier League club continue to regard Estevao as a player with the potential to become one of the best footballers in the world and are therefore unwilling to sanction a move, despite his limited opportunities so far this season.
