The 29-year-old’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, but talks have been opened with the defender.
“When you address renewals, it’s always a good time to motivate people,” Villas-Boas said.
“It’s a situation where we are on top and judging according to what we feel best.
“We are in talks at the moment about the situation with the CEO and eventually with the players which we feel are right.”
