Jose Mourinho is reported to have been chasing the signature of Spanish international Joaquin for several months, and the Stamford Bridge club are believed to have already made an approach to his club.
Real Betis winger Joaquin has also admitted he would be interested in a move to Chelsea.
Joaquin, who tormented England in the friendly defeat at the Bernabeu last month, has been linked with a number of top clubs but Chelsea appears to be his preferred destination.
“I have heard the offer is very big and I know Chelsea are a very big club but for me money has never been the issue”, said Joaquin, according to the Daily Mirror.
“Football is the only issue for me. My friend Jose Reyes tells me good things about English football when we play for Spain.
“It makes me think about things. The main club of the last two seasons has been Chelsea. All the players these days want to play for Chelsea.”
