Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is reluctant to see Ruben Loftus-Cheek sold.
Loftus-Cheek has made 20 appearances for his boyhood club so far this season and Tuchel views him as an important part of the squad, says The Sun.
He is being courted by a number of top clubs, with Juventus and Everton said to be interested in a loan move this month.
Everton are desperate for reinforcements as they prepare for the imminent arrival of Frank Lampard.
The ex-Chelsea manager is widely expected to take over at Goodison Park after the sacking of Rafa Benitez.
And the 43-year-old already has a number of targets in mind before he arrives on Merseyside.
The Toffees are set to be without midfielders Abdoulaye Doucoure and Fabian Delph for a minimum of a month each after they both picked up injuries.
