Chelsea are on red alert after Santos admitted they were preparing to sell star attacker Paulo Henrique Ganso some time this year.
O Globo reported last week that Chelsea were in contact with Santos about both Ganso and teammate Neymar ahead of the summer market.
Now, Santos president Luiz Alvaro de Oliveira admits he expects to cash in on Ganso during 2011.
"I spoke with the player and he said he wanted to try a new experiences abroad," revealed Oliveira. "Until now, the chances that Ganso would leave Santos were zero. After the Copa Libertadores it could be 15%, 50% at year's end.
"We will battle to the end so the price for him runs in our favor. "
