Barcelona defender Dani Alves has denied reports linking him with a summer switch to Chelsea.
Reports on Tuesday suggested Chelsea were lining up a big-money move to tempt the exciting full-back away from Camp Nou.
Alves has established himself as one of the best attacking full-backs in the world over the last few seasons at Sevilla and Barcelona.
The 25-year-old's media representatives have moved to dismiss the rumours linking the Brazilian with a move to Stamford Bridge.
"Daniel Alves knows about the interest of the London club today through the article in the ... tabloid," read the statement.
"A denial is important in order to not give the wrong impression on this matter."
Alves is in the first year of a four-year contract at Barca which includes a release clause of 90million euros.
