Bordeaux are in talks with Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah.
The Daily Mail says Chalobah returned to Chelsea last week after an unproductive loan spell at Burnley where he made just four appearances.
The 20-year-old is highly rated at Chelsea and Jose Mourinho will be keen for Chalobah to sign for a club where he will play first-team football for the second half of the season.
The England youth international had spent the previous two seasons playing Championship football with loan spells at Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest and Watford.
