Chelsea have increased their offer for Sporting midfielder Manuel Ugarte this summer.
The Blues have made the Uruguay international a key midfield target, with Mauricio Pochettino approving the move as one of his first significant decisions as the new manager at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have previously indicated their intention to trigger the 22-year-old's release clause, and according to Record, they have now boosted their salary offer to €3.5 million (£3.1 million) per year, in addition to a number of performance-based incentives and bonuses.
It is a significant rise over Chelsea's earlier offer of €2 million, but it still falls short of the €5 million package made by Paris Saint-Germain, who are also interested in signing the midfielder.
