Chelsea have sounded out Real Madrid defender Pepe about a move to Stamford Bridge, according to reports in Spain.
And the Blues may be willing to wait two years to snare the Portugal centre half on a free transfer.
The 27-year-old is struggling to agree a new deal at the Bernabeu and has even been linked with a shock move to Barcelona in recent days.

Well-connected Spanish radio station Cadena Ser claims Chelsea have also been in touch with the former Porto player’s representatives about a generous offer for when his current deal runs out in 2012.
Pepe is reported to have been offered £60,000 a week but is demanding an extra £25,000, which suitors may be willing to pay if he comes on a free.
Setting up a deal that would not be completed for another 20 months would be unusual to say the least and may just be a convenient tool for the player ahead of another round of contract talks next week scheduled between Madrid and Pepe’s agent Jorge Mendes.
