Manchester United have told Chelsea to stump up at least £65m for Alejandro Garnacho this summer.
Chelsea tried to sign the Argentine winger in the last transfer window but failed to agree a deal.
But the London club retain a strong interest in Garnacho, and are expected to make a move for him again at the end of this season.
Garnacho, who has also attracted interest from Napoli, is open to leaving United after struggling to secure regular starts under Ruben Amorim.
But he would want assurances from Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca he would be a big part of his future plans at Stamford Bridge.

But any deal will depend on another club meeting United's valuation.
Garnacho is under contract at Old Trafford until 2028 and will not be sold on the cheap.
