Chelsea have received a bid from Valencia for their Serbia international defender Branislav Ivanovic, according to reports in Spain.
Spanish radio station Cadena Sur claims that despite the signing of Victor Ruiz from Napoli, Los Che will attempt to add further steel to their back line with the versatile Chelsea man.
However, Blues boss Andre Villas Boas is unlikely to accept the offer, with Ivanovic’s ability to cover at both right back and in central defence considered a valuable attribute for the club.
Furthermore, while Jose Bosingwa and Alex have been in the Chelsea team recently, when Ivanovic returned from injury last weekend he went straight into the starting line-up – replacing Alex in central defence.
