The west Londoners are exploring a "shock" move.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's strike at Stamford Bridge was enough to seal a 1-0 victory and 5-1 win over the two legs, with Enzo Maresca's side now set to play La Liga side Real Betis in the final on May 28.
"We have 20 days now to prepare the final," said Maresca in his post-match press conference.

"Happy to face Betis, especially because of Manuel Pellegrini. I played four years for Sevilla - that is a big derby against Betis. We also won the derby 1-0, and I scored a goal. I know that they don't like me, they don't love me, but in terms of playing this game against Manuel Pellegrini, that is my, I said yesterday, it's like one of my dad, professional dad. So we'll be very happy.
"For me personally, it's very important, especially because we can give the chance to this club and these fans to be the first club in Europe to win the competition. So first of all for that. And then in terms of group, team, squad, it's important because, don't forget that we start in the play-off of this competition, not even in the group, and to reach the final is important."

In an ideal universe, Chelsea will be ending the season with both a Conference League triumph and a confirmed finish in the top five, with the latter set to have a major impact on their transfer plans for next season.
Maresca admitted that Chelsea's summer plans are intertwined with their Champions League qualification, and once it is potentially in the bag, BlueCo will then be preparing to potentially bring players before the Club World Cup begins.
Chelsea are known to be targeting a striker as one of their top priorities this summer, with Strasbourg star Emmanuel Emegha rumoured to be on their shortlist.
Emmanuel Emegha holds talks over joining Chelsea
According to Foot Mercato, Emegha and his representatives have held talks over joining Chelsea already, with the 22-year-old thought to be keen on a move to Stamford Bridge.

The towering Dutchman is currently Ligue 1's fifth top goalscorer with 14 strikes in 27 French top-flight appearances, and Chelsea's relationship with their sister club may even come as very useful in facilitating a potential deal for him.
Emegha's price tag is rumoured to be around £21 million, so he's an affordable option for Maresca, and one who's been clocked as the fastest player in France this season.
Given the sheer level of competition for Europe's most high-profile centre-forwards, Chelsea chiefs will also be thinking outside the box, with Emegha emerging as a solid left-field target.
