PSG are likely to make life difficult for Barça in their pursuit of French midfielder N'Golo Kanté
The Parisians are pressing the player's entourage to raise the player's stock.
These days it's not a transfer window without Barça and PSG clashing over a player. The two clubs, who have been feuding for several seasons now, have been torpedoing each other and it is clear to the Blaugrana club that the Parisians are hindering negotiations with Kanté.
Barça have been talking to Kanté for months now, positioning themselves to be at the forefront when the player makes a decision.
The Chelsea midfielder is a top player, with his contract expiring in June, and he will have numerous offers at his disposal.
The Blaugrana are aware that PSG have entered the fray in the last few weeks. Their interest in the player seems to be minimal, with their main aim likely to drive up the player's demands.
Kanté has slowed down his final decision because of his hamstring injury, although he should be back on the pitch in January. Once he is fit, the Frenchman will choose his future club.
Chelsea seem to have ruled him out, while Barça are waiting to see how he performs after his injury before taking a firm stance. Barça are optimistic about signing him should they go forward.
PSG have always liked Kanté, although the club's new sporting director, Luis Campos, is more inclined to sign promising youngsters. His target was Tchouaméni, but he was late and now is looking at other young promising players.
Kanté is a secondary option, but PSG could also complicate things for Barça.
