Chelsea have stepped in for Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal.
BILD says Bayern management have decided to sell Vidal this summer as Leon Goretzka arrives from Schalke.
The experienced midfielder has a deal with Bayern to 2019.
Vidal is being linked with Borussia Dortmund today, but Chelsea have already made contact with the Chile international's camp.
A contract offer worth €10m-a-year has been tabled to Vidal for his consideration.
