Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is looking to introduce trusted ally Chris Jurasek to the club.
The Blues have been in disarray since Boehly took over the running of the team after his consortium's buyout was completed in the Spring of 2022.
Per The Times, Jurasek would join as a new chief executive to work within the overall management structure.
However, there is a concern that recently-appointed President of Business Tom Glick would then have a reduced role.
Chelsea have still not hired a permanent successor to Graham Potter, with Mauricio Pochettino seen as the most likely hire.
Chelsea are currently in the bottom half of the Premier League table with three games of the season to go.
