Chelsea to open contract talks with Branislav Ivanovic?

Chelsea are reportedly poised to begin discussions with defender Branislav Ivanovic regarding a new contract.

The Premier League outfit are said to be keen to tie down the Serbian to fresh terms, despite two years remaining on his current deal.

It is understood that the Blues are willing to offer Ivanovic a four-year deal, which will include improved terms on his current wages of £120,000 per week, according to the Daily Mail.

While Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are said to be interested in Ivanovic, the Serbian would prefer to stay at Stamford Bridge.
