Chelsea are ready to focus on Porto fullback Alex Telles for their left-back market option.

A Bola says Chelsea will step back from plans to sign Getafe wing-back Marc Cucurella to focus on Telles.

Porto have identified Cucurella as a replacement for Telles, who has also been linked with a move to Chelsea this summer.

Telles is out of contract next year and has already told the Primera Liga outfit that he will not sign a new deal, meaning the club are keen to make a profit while they can.

Chelsea are thought to have placed the Brazilian at the top of their left-back wishlist, having cooled their interest in £85m-rated Ben Chilwell, of Leicester City.

It would therefore be in the Blues' interest to step away from any auction involving Cucurella, on the condition that a deal for Telles is sewn up.
