Christopher Nkunku has emerged as a potential Manchester United target in this window as Chelsea consider making a move for United forward Alejandro Garnacho.
Talks are understood to have been held between intermediaries about a potential move to Old Trafford for Nkunku.
Chelsea do not want to sell Nkunku, but it is thought they would be tempted to do business for £70m.
He is a player United are considering but they are unlikely to meet that £70m figure.
Bayern Munich are trying to sign the player but have not been able to agree a deal.
There would be more chance of Nkunku moving to Bayern if their forward Mathys Tel was willing to move in the opposite direction in a separate deal.
Chelsea have effectively had two different starting XIs this season - one for the league, and one for Europe and cup competitions.
Nkunku has scored an impressive 11 goals in 10 European and cup appearances this term. But he has managed just two goals in 18 Premier League games, though only three of those appearances have been starts.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are also considering making a move for United forward Alejandro Garnacho.
United are considering possibilities in attacking areas and what is feasible during this window given their financial restrictions.
A lot will depend on what happens with Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, given Antony's loan move to Real Betis should be finalised this weekend.
They do not want to be left short in attack - but they also cannot afford to be overstocked.
