Chelsea have reportedly reignited their interest in Marseille full-back Cesar Azpilicueta.
The Blues were linked with an approach for the Spaniard during the January transfer window, but a move did not materialise.
However, the 22-year-old is back on their radar following reports that a proposed deal for Inter Milan's Maicon may have hit the rocks.
Reports in France have suggested that Roberto Di Matteo has now contacted Les Phoceens to enquire about the availability of Azpilicueta.
The Spanish Under-23 international moved to the Stade Velodrome from Osasuna in 2010.
