Real Madrid are ready to sell their midfielder, Aurelien Tchouameni for around £68 million.
The France international is being targeted by Chelsea.
The 23-year-old has struggled to impress at Santiago Bernabeu since he joined from AS Monaco for around £86 million last summer.
He was signed as a replacement for Toni Kroos but failed to displace the German and Eduardo Camavinga in his side last campaign.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup finalist fell down the pecking order as the campaign progressed, starting just 17 of 39 club games since the turn of the year.
As a result, Real Madrid are hoping to cash in on the 22-cap France international before his transfer value suffers a drop.
They are prepared to let go of their holding midfielder for £68 million to recoup most of their initial investment.
El Nacional reports that Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is said to be keeping a close eye on Tchouameni as he is aiming to refresh his midfield.
