Chelsea are readying a €150 million proposal to sign Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr, according to a sensational report from Spain.
The Brazil international is facing an uncertain future due to his strained relationship with head coach Xabi Alonso and the fact that he has yet to agree a new contract.
His current terms run until 2027, and he is reportedly demanding a historic salary to extend. His potential availability has alerted Chelsea, who are said to be prepared to offer a guaranteed €125m plus €25m in add-ons.

Incoming Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has requested that the Blues make a move to re-sign their former academy graduate Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.
The defender is out of contract in the summer and will leave Palace this year. It is not clear if Rosenior wants Guehi to arrive immediately or on a free transfer in the summer.
Either way, Chelsea will face massive competition for his signature. Liverpool remain interested after failing to sign him last year, and Man City are now looking to do a January deal, as confirmed by FootballTransfers.

Rosenior is looking increasingly likely to be replaced by former Bournemouth and Wolves manager Gary O'Neil when he departs BlueCo sister club Strasbourg for Chelsea.
The Ligue 1 side's director David Weir is in London to hold talks with O'Neil, who is one of the two final candidates for the soon-to-be vacant role at Strasbourg.
Rosenior had his formal interview with Chelsea on Monday, and it is hoped that his appointment is finalised before Wednesday's clash with Fulham. As things stand, though, interim boss Calum McFarlane will lead the pre-match press conference on Tuesday.

Midfielder Andrey Santos changed the game when he came on against Man City on Sunday, and he is set to play a key role under Rosenior following his appointment.
The Brazilian starred for the coach during his loan to Strasbourg last season. Rosenior's arrival could be the catalyst for Santos' Chelsea career to really take off.
Interim boss McFarlane described Santos' performance against the Cityzens as "exceptional."

Former Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is interested in taking the Man Utd job following Ruben Amorim's sacking on Monday morning.
The Italian has been approached by the Red Devils and would be open to leading the club, despite the similar leadership structure to Chelsea, which ultimately led to his explosive exit from Stamford Bridge.
However, Man Utd are unlikely to make a decision on their next head coach imminently. Darren Fletcher is currently in interim charge and may remain in this position until the summer.

Chelsea have announced that they have recalled Kiano Dyer from his loan at Dutch side Volendam after he struggled for minutes in the Eredivisie.
The 19-year-old previously impressed in Chelsea's youth system but was unable to nail down a starting spot for the promoted Dutch side in the first half of the season.
Chelsea will now decide whether to find a new loan for Dyer or to integrate him back into the U21 setup, while the Blues are also expected to recall Caleb Wiley from his loan at Watford.
