Chelsea looks set to improve on their bid for Liverpool's Fernando Torres with a sum of £60 million, according to The Mirror.
The record-breaking bid comes after the Spanish striker told his current team that he wants to leave via a written transfer request.
His representatives have also apparently written to the club's new American owners stating all the reasons why the player should be allowed to leave, including the fact that the forward has been let down over promises made last summer to keep him at the club after Rafa Benitez's departure.
The West London club is also prepared to throw in young striker Daniel Sturridge, a player Liverpool wanted to take on loan earlier this season, and the Reds look to have an offer they can't refuse.
Any completed deal will probably see Torres become Chelsea's highest ever earner, but the negotiations will need to gather momentum quickly given that there are only three days left for such a big transfer to go through before deadline.
