The 24-year-old Real Madrid star Mateo Kovacic is believed to be in London for a medical ahead of completing a season-long loan move to Chelsea.
The La Liga giants have identified Bayern Munich Playmaker Thiago and Juventus star Miralem Pjanic as replacements of Kovacic.
Thiago Alcantara who came through the ranks at Barcelona before moving to Bayern in 2013 is claimed that he would like to return to his homeland amid interest from former national team boss Julen Lopetegui.
According to AS, Bayern would want £54million for the 31-cap star.
Juventus have paid £25m to sign the 28-year-old playmaker Miralem Pjanic from Roma in 2016. But the Italian champions are said to want triple their money.
