Elsewhere, Arsenal are sharp supposedly on signing Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane this summer.CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs claims that Bayern Munich winger Sane is an objective for Arsenal despite a transition to La Liga being "more probable".
Jacobs told The Done Deal Show: "No doubt I mean Sane to Chelsea is a sort of connection that has been created after Chelsea realized they wouldn't get Gnabry and the Gnabry thing was somewhat of a non-starter because he was always going to sign another arrangement," Jacobs said.
"The Sane thing is something to watch before long. It's anything but a connection that I have yet put to sources and contracts other than a month prior, and the sound was that Real Madrid could come in for Sane and I feel that they would consider it assuming another club took action.
"A transition to La Liga could be more probable, I've not heard rumblings at the Chelsea end, I've really heard additional rumblings from Arsenal that this was a name being considered toward the start of the window, however at that point they turned their attentions to Raphinha."
