Jose Mourinho wants Alvaro Morata in exchange for David De Gea.
The Manchester United ace is a long-term target for Real Madrid.
And according to Spanish newspaper Marca, Mourinho is playing hardball, with the United boss unwilling to let his star leave without a fight.
They say Mourinho has proposed a stunning swap deal with Real.
He has told the La Liga champions he wants £65m (€75m) for De Gea or Morata and a £22m (€25m) payment.
Mourinho values Morata at £44m (€50m) and is a huge fan of the Spain international.
Chelsea are chasing Morata, with Antonio Conte keeping tabs on his situation.
Bertrand Traore hopes to be part of Antonio Conte’s Chelsea plans next season.
The striker was loaned out to Ajax this season, netting 13 goals in all competitions.
Traore, 21, will return to Chelsea this summer with his future up in the air.
Asked whether he wants to be in the Blues’ first-team next season, Traore said: "That's my hope.
"I will go away with the national team and after that take some rest. Then I will go back to Chelsea and have a talk. We will see.
"That was the key when I came to Ajax, play as many [games] as I could, do well, and try to go back to Chelsea.
"I think I had a great season but I don't decide to stay at Chelsea or move. I will see what my future will be."
Philippe Coutinho would be the perfect signing for Barcelona, according to Brazil boss Tite.
The Liverpool talisman has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp this season.
And Tite reckons Coutinho's future could in La Liga instead of the Premier League.
When asked if it's logical that Barca want Coutinho, Tite told Spanish newspaper Sport: "Yes. Absolutely.
"I do not want to have the pretension to comment on Barca, but who does not want a player like Coutinho with that magic, with that capacity for invention and creation, change of pace, triangulation, game built?
"There have Sergio Busquets and the two midfielders, what in Italy they call 'mezzalas' (half wingers/attackers) that are Ivan Rakitic and Andres Iniesta, that are the two thinkers of the side.
"Coutinho can play in that role. He is an ideal player for Barca."
