Chelsea plot raids on Real Madrid & Barcelona in January transfer window: Report

during the UEFA Chanmpions League group G match between Chelsea and Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC at Stamford Bridge on September 16, 2015 in London, United Kingdom.

Blues eye El Clasico duo to solve defensive weaknesses.

Chelsea are reportedly looking into a double raid on La Liga this January in an attempt to solve their issues in defence, with Jose Mourinho considering a raid on his old club.

The Blues have one eye on a first-teamer at Real Madrid, whilst also looking at an experienced star at Barcelona, in what could be some smart business by the Premier League champions this winter.

The duo being looked at by Chelsea are as follows:

1) Daniel Carvajal (Real Madrid)

A player who joined Real Madrid after Mourinho’s exit, Daniel Carvajal has become a top performer in his time at the Bernabeu, though he now faces increased competition for his place at right-back from summer signing Danilo, meaning Chelsea are now supposedly showing an interest.

2) Dani Alves (Barcelona)

Another big name from La Liga who could replace the underperforming Branislav Ivanovic is Barcelona right-back Dani Alves, who has been world class for many years but who will face increased competition from summer signing Aleix Vidal when he is eligible to play from January onwards.
