As they plan for the future, Chelsea are said to be considering a move for a current Real Madrid star.
Due to two expiring contracts, the Premier League giants may face a problem this summer.
Chelsea's two center-backs, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, are both out of contract this summer, and the club has made little progress in re-signing them.
Rudiger in particular is a player the Blues want to keep, with the German being an important part of Thomas Tuchel's plans.
However, contract talks have not gone well, and as things stand, Rudiger is set to leave on a free transfer.
Real Madrid has been heavily linked, but it may still cost them a defender.
The transfer would be for free, but Diario AS reports that Chelsea are interested in signing Los Blancos midfielder Eder Militao.
Militao has been excellent for Real Madrid this season, but given that his partner is David Alaba, it is likely that the Brazilian will be replaced if Rudiger arrives.
This could open the door for Chelsea, as Militao is likely to believe he has earned a starting spot even if a top alternative becomes available this summer.
