Report: Barcelona to battle Chelsea for Paris Saint-Germain teen Kays Ruiz-Atil

Chelsea face competition from Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain youngster Kays Ruiz-Atil, according to a report.

The 18-year-old was handed his senior PSG debut earlier this season by Thomas Tuchel, who is now in charge of Chelsea.

Ruiz-Atil has yet to feature under Mauricio Pochettino and has been tipped to reunite with Tuchel at the end of the campaign.

However, Spanish outlet AS claims that the 18-year-old midfielder would prefer to return to Barca, where he spent six years in their famed La Masia academy before moving to PSG in 2015.

Both clubs are expected to engage in talks with Ruiz-Atil in the coming weeks, with his contract at the Parc des Princes due to run out in June.
