Chelsea have been informed of Ajax's asking price for David Neres.
Reports over the weekend state Neres has become a top target for the Blues, should their transfer ban be overturned.
Luka Jovic had originally been Chelsea's primary target, but he looks set to join Real Madrid.
They have now turned their focus to exciting winger Neres, who The Star says will be available for £40m.
PSG, Liverpool and Arsenal have all been linked with the Brazilian.
Neres' agents Giuliano Bertolucci and Kia Joorabchian represent Blues defender David Luiz, with the two parties enjoying a positive relationship after Luiz's latest contract renewal.
