Chelsea are stepping up their pursuit of Brighton star Marc Cucurella and have offered teenage centre back Levi Colwill as a makeweight in the deal.
Manchester City had been looking to secure the signing of the 24-year-old, but they baulked at Brighton’s asking price of £50m.
City held talks with Brighton but only went as high as £40m, but sources have now reported that Chelsea have stepped in and agreed to pay £50m.
The two sides are now finalising the deal including payment options and add-ons, and a deal is now close to completion.
Personal terms are not seen as an issue as they are already believed to have been agreed in principle, and Cucurella, who was keen on a move to City, has already made it clear through his representatives that he is more than happy to join Chelsea.

Manchester United are hoping to sell six out of favor defenders before the transfer window shuts. Alex Telles is wanted by Sevilla and Phil Jones is in talks with D.C. United.
A similar cull could take place at Arsenal, where manager Mikel Arteta is looking to shift deadwood like Hector Bellerin, Nicolas Pepe and Pablo Mari.
To start with, the Gunners are close to sealing an exit for outcast midfielder Lucas Torreira, with Galatasaray set to sign the Uruguayan.
Idrissa Gueye’s return to Everton is gathering pace. The PSG midfielder has arrived in Merseyside for a medical as both teams hash out the final details.
Kasper Schmeichel will soon bring his 11-year stay with Leicester to an end by signing for Ligue 1 side Nice.
Barcelona are considering a bid for La Liga veteran Inigo Martinez, though the Catalan club will not trigger the defender’s €80m release clause.
