Chelsea trio Willian, Oscar and Ramires have openly discussed the potential signing of Dani Alves with boss Jose Mourinho, Football Express News understands.
The Brazilian full-back is widely expected to leave the Catalan club next summer when his contract expires, discussing such talks last week in a press conference where he told reporters that this season would indeed be his last at the Camp Nou.
His words have led to a number of top European clubs, mainly English, to show interest with Man United and Chelsea leading the way.
It was reported by us earlier this week that team-mate Gerard Pique had discussed life with Alves about joining Man United, but it seems three Chelsea players have already countered that by speaking with Blues boss Mourinho about making a move for the Brazilian full-back.
Further reports in Spanish press claim that Barca have planned a new and improved contract for Alves, but it is understood that United are willing to test their luck and make a move for the Brazil international.
