Chelsea are in talks with Corinthians for Argentine star Carlos Tevez.
The Sun says Blues boss Jose Mourinho jetted out to Brazil to see him play for his club side Corinthians on Thursday night.
The Special One's long-haul scouting mission is a clear indication that the Blues hope to pair Tev with his Argie team-mate Hernan Crespo next season.
Tevez is the subject of an £82m get-out clause in his Corinthians contract - but he would be allowed to leave for around a quarter of that figure.
He is being lined up after Ukrainian goal-machine Andriy Shevchenko insisted he was staying at AC Milan.
Mourinho wants a different option as he feels Crespo and Didier Drogba are too similar.
