Chelsea are emerging as new favourite for Udinese star Alexis Sanchez.
New Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas has already made contact with Sanchez about moving to London in recent days.
Mediaset says Barcelona's pursuit is going cold, with the European champs failing to put together an offer attractive enough to convince Udinese to sell.
Manchester City are also in the frame, but Sanchez favours either a move to Barcelona or London when he returns to Udine after Chile's Copa America campaign.
