Atletico Madrid have spoken to Chelsea about a loan for Nicolas Jackson, with a potential obligation to buy.
The London club would prefer an outright sale, as they attempt to offload a number of squad players ahead of transfer deadline day in eight days' time.
With Aston Villa also considering Jackson, any move could have a knock-on effect on multiple other transfers.
Chelsea themselves are understood to be open to a versatile attacker should they complete enough outgoings, with Marcus Rashford an option that has been broached.
Atletico securing Jackson could meanwhile smooth Julian Alvarez's departure - potentially to Barcelona or even Arsenal - in what is already a protracted saga.
