Chelsea bidders are planning to redevelop Stamford Bridge - rather than build a new stadium.
The Telegraph says bpotential buyers have been shortlisted to four consortiums by The Raine Group in charge of the sale.
Of those remaining in the process, three have outlined their plans for Chelsea's traditional West London home.
Sir Martin Broughton and Todd Boehly's bids are hoping to redevelop the Bridge stand-by-stand like Liverpool have done with Anfield.
In 2014, the Reds began work upgrading their Main Stand - increasing the capacity by 8,500 seats while still being able to play at home as work went on.
Work has now begun on "phase two" of Anfield's redevelopment - with the Anfield Road End set to be increased by a further 7,000.
Broughton and Boehly are both reported to believe that the Blues could do something similar, by upgrading Stamford Bridge one stand at a time while not having to move to a temporary home.
The Ricketts Family Investment Group, meanwhile, have released an eight-point plan titled "We will" - with a pledge regarding Stamford Bridge at point six of their list.
It reads: "Explore every option to redevelop Stamford Bridge and do everything in our power to keep playing in this historic stadium."
Not much is known about Stephen Pagliuca's bid for the club, with the American reportedly tied by various "non-disclosure agreements".
