Paris Saint-Germain have expressed an interest in signing Wolfsburg left-back Ricardo Rodriguez, according to reports.

The French champions are having a poor season by their high standards, sitting third in Ligue 1 and having been beaten to top spot in their Champions League group by Arsenal.

According to Calciomercato, PSG are looking to trigger Rodriguez's £21m release clause and beat the Gunners to the 24-year-old's signature.

Italian giants Inter Milan and AC Milan are also said to be interested in signing the Switzerland international, but are reportedly unable to match his release clause.
