Filipe Luis is eager to quit Atletico Madrid for Chelsea.
Marca says his buy-out clause stands at 24m and he is in talks with Atletico to drop the price so to help smooth negotiations with Chelsea.
However, Atletico's board have so far resisted the request and are unhappy with the Brazilian's demands.
Atletico pair Diego Costa and Tiago Mendes, two of Luis' best friends inside the locker room, are already on their way to Chelsea this summer.
