Wolfsburg defender Dante has revealed that he would be interesting in moving to Chelsea.
The centre-back—who won the Champions League with Bayern Munich under Pep Guardiola—has been linked with a move to Manchester United next summer, according to the Express.
However, the same source, quoting a quickfire Q&A with Fifa.com, has revealed that the Brazil defender has name-checked Chelsea as the ‘big club’ he’d like to play for.
“I always dreamed of playing in a World Cup for my country,” the 32-year-old began. “I would like to play in a big club like Chelsea.”
Dante moved to Wolfsburg when he was released from his contract with Bayern Munich, having won three Bundesliga titles and the European Cup with the Bavarian giants.
Chelsea may well welcome the arrival of Dante, who would offer both experience and defensive solidity for the Blues, as they look to escape their current crisis.
