Porto defender Kleper Pepe has played down rumours of a summer move to Chelsea. The 24-year-old has also reportedly attracted attention from Real Madrid and Juventus, and Porto president Jorge Pinto da Costa admits his club may have to listen to offers for the Brazilian centre back.

However Pepe, who will qualify for a Portuguese passport later this year, played down rumours of a move to the Premiership.

"I remain calm about it because I have a contract here until 2009," said Pepe. "I'm only thinking of going to London to knock Chelsea out of the Champions League."

Pepe has played over 50 times for Porto after moving to the club in 2004 from Maritimo.
