The 31-year-old, who has made more than 300 appearances for the Catalan giants since graduating from the club's B team in 1999, is believed to be on the cash-rich Blues' wish-list, with Mark Hughes also reportedly targeting Chelsea captain John Terry and Everton stopper Joleon Lescott.

However, Puyol will not be swapping the Nou Camp for Eastlands during the close-season, after insisting that he has no intention of parting company with the Spanish treble winners.
