The Brazilian, who can play at full-back or as a midfielder, made it clear that he would move to Stamford Bridge if given the chance.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a $50million switch from Sevilla to Stamford Bridge.

In remarks reported by Marca, Alves said: "I want to try. Out of respect to me they have to do it.

"I have behaved well over four and a half years and I ask Sevilla to also behave well and evaluate an offer."
