Bournemouth have rekindled interest in another Chelsea star after signing goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic earlier in the window.
The Blues are in the midst of a wholesale clear-out as they look to redress the balance in Enzo Maresca’s squad after another summer of spending.
Among the arrivals at Stamford Bridge this summer are forwards Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, and Jamie Gittens.
Other recruits include Dario Essugo from Sporting Lisbon, and Ajax academy star Jorrel Hato.
Maresca also welcomed Estevao Willian after the Palmieras teenager signed for the club last summer, but were unable to work with him due to restrictions over his age.
But with the incomings, a number of players have been earmarked for outgoings, including Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell.

And the Cherries could yet take another star off Maresca’s hands, with the club reconsidering a move for defender Axel Disasi.
Daily Mail Sport first reported the south coast club’s interest in the player earlier this month, but a potential move is thought to be in the early stages, with the two teams working on different solutions.
Disasi joined the Blues ahead of the 2023-24 season from Monaco, making 31 Premier League appearances during his debut season.
But his playing time decreased with the return of Levi Colwill and Reece James to regular competition limited the majority of his appearances for Chelsea last term to run-outs in the UEFA Conference League.
The player signed a loan deal to move to Aston Villa for the second-half of the season, where he made a further 10 appearances in the top division.

But the star did not fit Unai Emery’s requirements enough to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign.
As well as Disasi, the Blues will look to shift a further nine stars before the window shuts in September.
Moves have already been agreed for players including Joao Felix, Noni Madueke, Armando Broja, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Bournemouth are enjoying a strong end to their window after signing Ben Gannon Doak from Liverpool, alongside Petrovic, Bafode Diakite from Lille, and Rennes’ Adrien Truffert.
