Aston Villa are in talks to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea.
The proposal under discussion is a potential loan, but Chelsea want a permanent element attached to any deal for the winger.
Sky Sports News understands Chelsea are prepared to sell Garnacho for £42.7m (€50m) in this window.
Xabi Alonso admitted at his unveiling last week that Chelsea are working with the player and his representatives to find a solution which suits all parties.
Roma are also interested in signing Garnacho, while the former Manchester United winger also has admirers in the Saudi Pro League.
Garnacho has not returned to pre-season training as he seeks a resolution.
