Chelsea have bid rejected for Alex Telles

Galatasaray youngster Alex Telles is being monitored by Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, but the left back has been told that he must stay at the Turkish club. The Blues had a reported 8 million GBP rejected by Gala.

The former Juventude and Gremio full back is one of Brazil's best young players and Chelsea have been very impressed with what they have seen of the defender during his first full season in Turkey.

The Blues have already sold Felipe Luis back to his former club Atletico Madrid and are actively seeking a defensive replacement. Alex Telles is understood to remain the top target for the Stamford Bridge side.
