Porto<\/a> left-back Alvaro Pereira<\/a> has ruled out the possibility of linking up with Chelsea<\/a> before the end of the transfer window.
<\/span><\/p>\n


The Blues remained interested in landing Pereira until late on deadline day despite having bids in the region of \u00a317.5 million rejected by Porto.<\/p>\n

Pereira had been left out of Friday’s Uefa Super Cup clash against Barcelona in Monaco, with many believing that it was an indication of his potential departure to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

However, the two clubs failed to reach an agreement regarding the transfer fee, with Porto holding firm over their \u00a326.5m valuation of the player.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Wednesday, one of Pereira’s representatives revealed a move to Chelsea was very unlikely. Now the defender has declared that he will not be moving.<\/p>\n

“The clubs ended up not reaching an agreement and I will continue defending Porto,” Pereira told Radio Sport890<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I was told they did not want to sell me in order not to weaken the team. As a player, I have to respect that decision.”<\/p>\n

Pereira, who joined Porto from Cluj in 2009 \u00a34m deal, played an integral part in the club’s treble of the Portuguese League, Portuguese Cup and the Europa League last season.<\/p>\n
