Chelsea could rival Manchester United for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to reports in Italy.
The 27-year-old has entered the final 12 months of his contract in Turin and he has reportedly asked to leave the club.
The Frenchman made 45 appearances for the Serie A side this season but struggled for form and was widely criticised by fans.
Manchester United were reported to be interested as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his midfield as part of his Old Trafford rebuild.
The Red Devils ideally need to bring in a midfielder or two to replace the departing Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Paul Pogba, who is set to return to Juventus on a four-year deal.
