Juventus have been interested in the ex-PSV defender, and could make a move now the transfer window has re-opened.
Meanwhile, London rivals QPR are also thought to be keen on signing the Brazilian. Even though his contract is up at the end of the season, the Blues are still looking for a fee of around £2m.
