The flying right-back was in the Sevilla side that beat the Spanish champions 5-3 in the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday but then revealed that he would be tempted by a move to the Bernabeu.

Alves had been hotly tipped to sign for Chelsea after Sevilla left him out of their Champions League qualifier against AEK Athens last week so as not to cup tie him, but the London club had a reported bid of £21.5million turned now.

Alves has now said he is "worried" by the lack of progress being made on any potential Chelsea move, and has issued what appears to be a come-and-get-me plea to Real Madrid.

"The player who says he has not dreamt of playing for Real Madrid is a liar. Any footballer would like to play for the club," he told Marca.

"It is a quite complicated situation. The sooner it is resolved the better."

With Glen Johnson and Paulo Ferreira both out injured Chelsea played midfielder Michael Essien as a right-back during their 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Sunday.
