Chelsea are reportedly planning a £35m swoop for Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria.
The Argentine is said to be discontented with his pay at the Bernabeu.
Di Maria is looking for wages of £80,000 a week and recently spurned Real's offer of £70,000.
The wide-man signed for Benfica from Argentine side Rosaria Central in 2007, before moving to Real Madrid in 2010.
