Chelsea are in danger of being beaten by Manchester United to another transfer target – with Monaco growing tired of the Blues chase of Tiemoue Bakayoko, the Sun has claimed.
The 22-year-old was expected to be Antonio Conte's first summer signing.
But the Blues are yet to reach a financial agreement with the French giants.
The midfielder is for sale and Monaco want to finalise the transfer before the end of the month.
And Manchester United - who already won the race to sign Romelu Lukaku - might end up winning the race to sign the Frenchman as well.
Earlier today, the Blues have announced the signing of defender Antonio Rudiger.
He follows Willy Caballero who joined at the start of the month after he was released by Manchester City at the end of last season.
