Defender would take move to link-up with former boss

Porto defender Rolando admits he would love to join his former boss Andre Villas-Boas at Chelsea. The 25-year-old, who has previously been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League, is said to be under Villas-Boas's consideration. With Alex said to be attracting interesting from Bayern Munich, Rolando has been suggested as a possible signing along with the likes of Gary Cahill and Scott Dann. And Rolando insists he would be more than happy to move to Chelsea. "Andre Villas-Boas has my number. If he is interested, he know that I loved working with him," Rolando said from Porto's pre-season training camp in Germany. "Have been in Porto for three years now and now could be a good time to leave, I just want to continue to win, whether here or somewhere else. "There are clubs in Europe who Porto cannot compete with, financially, and if an offer comes in, we will see."

Rolando currently has four-years left on his current deal, and is one of a number of Porto players linked with Chelsea. Joao Moutinho, Hulk and Radamel Falcao have all been linked with a Villas-Boas reunion - but Porto president Pinto Da Costa insists they will not be allowing any to leave for bargain fees. "We do not reduce by one euro the price of our stars for the big foreign clubs," he reiterated.
