Chelsea and Manchester City are keeping a close eye on Barcelona defender Dani Alves with a view to making a summer move, according to a report from Spanish newspaper Sport.
The Brazilian has been in talks with the club regarding a new deal for some time now with no significant progress being reported.
The 26-year-old's current deal expires at the end of the 2011-12 season, and City and Chelsea are believed to be hovering with offers that could make Alves one of the most highly paid players in the Premier League.
Barcelona are also believed to be ready to return with a much improved offer though as the competition for the player's services hots up as the close season draws nearer.

I personnally rated Alvez as n1 right back in the world last season, ahead of Maicon. This season though, I'll say Maicon is ahead. I love the player but this is BS. Why would Barcelona let go one of the 2 best right backs in the world when they already have him and know how good he is? Plus if Bosingwa is fit next season, Chelsea can do without Alvez - Bosingwa offers pace, dribbles and nice crosses when going forward. He is a bit similar to Alvez and was Chelsea best signing in the Scolari era. Ivanovic is also there and offers more defensive solidity as a right back. With this pair, that position is covered.
