Deportivo La Coruna have played down reports linking Jorge Andrade with a loan move to Chelsea.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho is desperate to bolster his defensive options, his side showing frailties in recent weeks while John Terry has been absent with a back injury.
The Spanish side have ruled out the possibility of the 28-year-old moving to Stamford Bridge on loan, although Andrade is keen to try his luck in England.
He said: "Many times my name appears in relation with English football and especially Chelsea because Mourinho was my boss in Porto, but never has the deal been finished.
"But my priority is to play in the match against Real Madrid this Saturday."
Andrade has made more than 100 appearances for Deportivo since moving to the club from FC Porto four years ago.
