Chelsea
target Aleksandr Golovin is the subject of a "more than generous offer" from
Monaco.
Vadim Vasilyev, vice president of the French club, confirmed the bid for
CSKA Moscow midfielder Golovin, who impressed while playing for Russia at
the World Cup this summer.
Juventus have had a €20m (£17.7m) offer for the player, whose contract in
Moscow runs to the end of the 2020/21 season, turned down.
Golovin was a target for new Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri at previous club
Napoli and Sky in Italy understands the Blues are interested in the
22-year-old.
"[It's] a more than generous offer," Vasilyev said on Monday. "The contract
length offered is five years.
"I think that a club in transition like Monaco is the best option for him,
at this stage in his career.
"Everything should be decided in the coming days, maybe even today. We
cannot wait long. If it does not come off, we will look to another option."
Chelsea completed the signing of Italy midfielder Jorginho from Napoli on a
five-year deal on Saturday, though Eden Hazard has hinted he could leave the
club.
Barcelona have also submitted a second offer for Chelsea's Willian and
remain keen on N'Golo Kante, Sky Sports News understands.
