Chelsea have a buy-back option for Southampton wing-back Tino Livramento.
The Sun says Chelsea will have the option to re-sign Livramento in the future.
Livramento has been one of the standout young players in the Premier League this season since joining Southampton from Chelsea.
Saints paid the Blues £5million for the 19-year-old full-back and have so far handed him 23 appearances across all competitions.
He has been fantastic in their last two games, 2-0 wins over Everton and Norwich, and his form has reignited speculation about his future.
The Sun reports that while rumours of Manchester United's interest are premature, Chelsea are a potential suitor due to a clause in his Southampton contract.
