Chelsea had the chance of signing Benfica star Fabio Coentrao, it has been revealed.
The 22 year-old midfielder is now a big-money target for Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid and great rivals Barcelona.
However, Globoesporte says Coentrao could have signed for nothing as a teenager at Chelsea.
While Mourinho was in charge, Coentrao was handed trials at Stamford Bridge, but the Special One passed on signing the youngster at the time.
