Chelsea want to sign Sergio Aguero and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is ready to accept the offer.
AS newspaper journalist Manu Sainz has claimed on Twitter that the Blues have identified the 29-year-old as the one to take over from Diego Costa.
Manager Antonio Conte is still desperately searching for a world class striker and time is running out.
The Blues wanted to sign Romelu Lukaku but Manchester United won the race to secure his services.
Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata is set to join Milan and Borussia Dortmund will only wait until the end of the week to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Aguero scored more than 270 goals in his career and would add plenty of Premier League experience to Conte's squad if he joins.
