Chelsea are tracking AC Milan midfielder Suso this season.
Calciomercato.com says Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is a long-time admirer of the Spain international and would like to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Suso never managed to break into the first XI during his three-year spell at Liverpool.
But he eventually quit the Reds for AC Milan who paid just a £1m compensatory fee to Liverpool for his services.
Chelsea let Tiemoue Bakayoko join the Serie A side on loan this season to build a relationship between the clubs.
Milan reportedly have an option to buy the French midfielder at the end of the deal if he impresses.
