Roberto Carlos has told Chelsea he would be ‘very attracted’ if they were to come knocking for his services.

Carlos was a key part of Luiz Felipe Scolari’s World Cup-winning Brazilian side back in 2002 and, after the arrival of Deco, it appears the new Blues boss is keen to recruit one or two faces he has worked with in the past.

Furthermore, following the capture of Jose Bosingwa – as well as Deco - Scolari seems intent on signing players who have experience of winning The Champions League, a trophy Carlos has won three times.

The 35-year-old admits he is yet to be contacted by a Chelsea official, but he would be interested should they seek his signature.

“I am content at Fenerbahce, but I am a man who likes challenges and a move to Chelsea would be very attractive,” said Roberto Carlos in the Daily Star.

“I understand that Felipe wants people with him who he has confidence in and who he knows.

“As yet I have not spoken to him since he has arrived at Chelsea.”

Guiza will travel to Istanbul on Monday to put pen to paper on a four-year contract with the Turkish side.

Neither club disclosed details of the transfer fee for the former Getafe frontman, who netted his first two international goals at the European Championships as Spain secured the country's first major trophy for 44 years.
