Chelsea must move quickly if they want to land Italy coach Antonio Conte for next season.
The Daily Star says Conte has scheduled a meeting with his employers to discuss his future.
That means the Stamford Bridge outfit will have to make their move if they want to secure the 46-year-old as Jose Mourinho's long-term successor.
Conte's contract runs out after Euro 2016 and he is currently top of the list of candidates to replace interim coach Guus Hiddink.
He held talks in London with representatives of the club late last month and has reportedly been learning English in preparation for a move to the Premier League.
