Plans in west London are already afoot as they add to their squad depth as well as boss Conte wanting players who have been there and done it in Europe.
And despite being under contract in Italy until next year, nobody is more qualified to do so than 34-year-old Alves, who is set to play in his 14th European final of his career after reaching this year’s Champions League showdown with Juve.

Therefore Conte will wait until after the end of the season to see where the Turin club end up before making a move, with the Chelsea boss wanting an experienced defender to bolster his ranks.
Juventus will not make it easy for him to leave – and why would they given his skills and experience – but Alves did reportedly offer his services back for former club Barcelona in January, while Manchester City were also interested around that time.

After a slow start in Italy and feeling homesick as his kids still live in the Spanish city where he played for eight years, he asked to come back after just a few months.
But Marca claimed incredibly that Barcelona rejected Alves' chance to return - perhaps they regret it now, but it shows he may be wanting a move after all.
