Porto are prepared to sell Alvaro Pereira to Chelsea today.
A Bola says Pereira now has his heart set on moving to Chelsea and Porto do not want the baggage of handling an unhappy player when he returns from international duty with Uruguay next week.
Porto will sell today, but Chelsea must increase their previous €20 million offer to get the deal done.
Having seen Chelsea cough up €20 million for previous fullback signings Jose Bosingwa and Paulo Ferreira, Porto are willing to sell Pereira for €24 million.
