Chelsea are tracking Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Bernard's situation.

Marca says Bernard is ready to leave Shakhtar at the end of this season as his contract expires in June.

A move within Europe is now on the agenda for the midfielder and Marca says Sevilla and Chelsea are interested in the 25 year-old.

Sevilla chief Oscar Arias is already in contact with Bernard about a move to Spain, however Chelsea are also watching developments closely.

Earlier this season, Bernard said: "There is interest from European clubs, many things are appearing. That is why I have to have my head in the right place, be calm and know and choose the best [option].

"The most important thing for me is to continue dedicated to what I do.

"Who knows whether it's in Shakhtar, returning to Brazil or going to another team in Europe. We will only know more in the future and I hope it's the best for me and for the place I end up playing at. Negotiations are very confidential and there cannot be any mistakes. At this time, I cannot say which clubs want me and what the final outcome will be."
