New manager Xabi Alonso is understood to be keen on overhauling Real Madrid’s defence over the next couple of transfer windows.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Chelsea are working to bring him back to the club in a similar deal to the one that brought Thiago Silva to West London.
Chelsea used Silva as an experienced head in a young side during the Brazilian’s four years, where he went on to become a legend.
