Inter Milan expect an improved bid worth around £110million from Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku this week.
The Italians rejected an opening bid of £85m plus full-back Marcos Alonso for the 28-year-old Belgium striker but are willing to sell for the right price.
Chelsea have been talking to Inter after it became clear Borussia Dortmund would not budge in their stance over Erling Haaland where 'only a crazy offer' would tempt them to sell.
Lukaku had said he wanted to stay with Inter where he scored 30 goals and won the Italian title last season but their financial issues dictate they must listen to substantial offers for their players.
