Chelsea are set to re-ignite their interest in Real Madrid youngster Alipio after he was made a potential makeweight in Angel Di Maria's Benfica move, according to Marca.
The Brazilian youth international has been a long-term target for the Blues and they came close to landing him before he moved to the Spanish capital a year ago.
Despite being only 17, he is already a star performer in the club's Castilla side and had been earmarked for a future role in the first team.
A return to Portugal was on the cards for the ex-Rio Ave forward to ease Di Maria's £22 million move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Carlo Ancelotti will now reportedly attempt to derail this move with a bid of his own.
