Rolando's representative suggests Chelsea's Andre Villas-Boas could be interested in Porto stars

Rolando's Italian representative Peppino Tirri has said Chelsea manager Andres Villas-Boas may be keen on luring some of his ex-Porto players to London.

And, the 25-year-old defender could be one of them, despite his agent Jose Silva claiming on Thursday that his client was happy in Portugal.

Tirri, who represents the Portuguese international in Italy, but is not his agent, told Calciomercatoweb.it: "It's true that Villas-Boas could ask for some of his former players to join him at his new team [Chelsea]."

Juventus and Roma have been linked with the centre-back who has a deal with Porto until 2015.

It seems neither club has opened dialogue though.

"Nobody has called me and so there is nothing. Maybe the clubs are talking. Roma have not even called me," he said.

Rolando was outstanding for Villas-Boas last season as he helped them scoop the league title, Portuguese Cup, and the Europa League.
