Chelsea are chasing Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano.
The Brazil international is baulking at opening talks over a new contract with Sevilla and while in Brazil, he declared this could be his last in Spain.
Chelsea are ready to splash out on Fabiano as early as January, if they can get their FIFA transfer ban frozen, says Marca.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is also keen, but will only consider Fabiano for a knockdown fee given his age. AC Milan are also monitoring developments.
