Milan Baros' agent has confirmed that Chelsea are interested in bringing the Aston Villa striker to Stamford Bridge.
The Czech Republic international has already snubbed a move to Real Sociedad in the January transfer window and it could be the champions that next make a move for the out of favour front-man.
Villa boss Martin O'Neill has used Baros sparingly in recent weeks and has conceded he is unsure as to what the future holds for the former Liverpool man.
With Andrei Shevchenko still a pale imitation of the player that sparked at Milan, and Arjen Robben struggling with injury, Chelsea are thought to be keen to pep up their attack ahead of the title run in.
It had been reported that they were planning a surprise approach for Baros and now his agent, Pavel Paska, has confirmed that Jose Mourinho has made his interest known.
"I have spoken about Milan´s future with Aston Villa manager Martin O´Neill," Paska told Pravo. "I will not contest the interest of Chelsea, we know about it.
"There would be a meeting between both clubs as the player is still under a valid contract.
"That is the first step both sides have to do to not break the regulations.
"That is why I cannot say if it was a loan or a permanent move."
