Chelsea are continuing talks with Udinese and the minders of Alexis Sanchez about a deal for the winger. Gazzetta dello Sport says Chelsea officials are due to meet with agent Fernando Felicevich in London in the coming days.
Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo has confirmed Chelsea have already made one major offer this month for Sanchez.
Felicevich has close ties with Chelsea and their Latin scouts thanks to the London club's push into Chile during 2010.
Sanchez is also a January target for Inter Milan, while Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is monitoring developments from afar.
