The Spanish club were understood to want £27m for Alves but Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck said the club would not be forced into spending above the market price.

"When we are buying players there is no doubt about it there is one price for Chelsea and one price for everyone else," Buck told 5live.

"We have to do our best to fight that.

"If the price of the player being requested is inappropriate then we will walk away. There are a number of transactions that we walked away from for just that very reason.

Belletti for 5.5m Euros is good business.  Good solid defender and he's got to be better than Glen Johnson...
