Boss Andre Villas-Boas was keen to bring the Uruguay international to Stamford Bridge at the start of the season but failed with an unsuccessful bid in August.
Reports suggest the Blues manager is ready to make another offer for Pereira when the transfer window re-opens but Porto president Jorge Pinto da Costa has insisted the defender is not for sale and is adamant that no players will leave the Estadio do Dragao in January.
"I have offered a guarantee to the coach that no important players will leave the team in January - and that includes Alvaro Pereira," Pinto da Costa said.
"I think the chance to do a deal for this player has passed and that is good news for us. Now is the time that rumours start spreading about players, but I am used to that."
