According to the Daily Star, Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti is planning to make a double swoop from the Portuguese club, as the Italian is close to signing Brazil international Ramires for £17m next week.
In addition, Ancelotti is also planning to sign Luiz, who impressed in Benfica’s Europa League defeat against Liverpool last season.
The 23-year-old defender is now Chelsea’s main target with Alex suffering from a thigh injury and the club being concerned over the long-term fitness of John Terry.
However, City are also in the mix for the Brazilian and have the money to outbid Chelsea for the star defender.
Ancelotti has not added a big signing to his Double-winning squad this summer and has seen Michael Ballack, Joe Cole and Juliano Belletti leave the club this summer.
