Chelsea have reached an agreement with Napoli for the €20m (£17.95m) sale of midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, according to a report.
Bakayoko struggled to make an impression in his first campaign at Stamford Bridge in 2017-18 and has spent the subsequent three seasons away on loan.
Following spells with AC Milan and Monaco, the 26-year-old now finds himself at Stadio San Paolo, where he is once again working under ex-Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso.
Napoli paid €2m (£1.8m) to take Bakayoko on loan for the season, and Gazzetta dello Sport claims that an arrangement is already in place for a permanent deal to go through next summer.
The French midfielder has featured six times for Napoli in all competitions so far this term, assisting one goal and failing to find the net.
