Manchester City and Chelsea have been given a boost in their chase for Barcelona right back Daniel Alves after he rejected a contract extension, according to El Mundo Deportivo.
The Brazilian international spurned an offer to boost his current deal, which runs out in 2012, by two years, amid big-money interest from the Premier League pair. With the ex-Sevilla defender a vital part of the La Liga champions' side, he has demanded a wage packet that reflects his status.
Roberto Mancini's side have refused to flinch in the face of a £35 million price tag, while Jose Bosingwa's injury problems with Chelsea have moved the Blues to the negotiating table.
