Chelsea are also believed to have activated a £35million release clause in Michael Olise’s contract.
The west London club now expect to complete the signing of the Crystal Palace winger in due course.
The 21-year-old France Under-21 international would join a number of new signings at Chelsea if the deal is finalised.
Olise is currently sidelined after tearing his hamstring at the Under-21 European Championship which could prevent him from playing until the end of September.
Olise signed for Palace on a five-year deal from Reading in 2021 after Palace triggered an £8m release clause. Included in that deal was a 10 per cent sell-on clause due to Reading.
He has since gone on to establish himself as an important player for Roy Hodgson’s side and enjoyed an outstanding year for Palace in 2022-23, winning the player’s player of the season and the club’s goal of the season awards.
He became the first Palace player ever to claim 10 or more assists in a Premier League campaign, the youngest-ever player to claim three assists from open play in one Premier League match, and his 11 assists ranked him fourth in the division.
