Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas could be set to go head-to-head with former boss Jose Mourinho in a transfer battle over Porto star Fredy Gaurin.
The west Londoners and Real Madrid are the two clubs believed to be leading the race to sign the 25-year-old Columbian.
Guarin made 22 league appearances for the Portuguese champions under Villas-Boas last season, however, he was unhappy at starting just ten of those matches and at one point made his feelings public via Twitter.
The former Saint Etienne player, who can play in central midfield or on the right, did score five goals in Porto's successful Europa League campaign, and that sort of strike rate from the centre of the park would enable to the new Chelsea boss.
Gaurin played just the final 34 minutes of the Super Cup game against Vitoria Guimaraes at the weekend and it appears he may not fit in with the style new manager Vitor Pereira is planning to play at Porto.
