Atletico Madrid are prepared to release Saul Niguez for loan before next week's deadline.
Chelsea and Manchester United, reports AS, are in contact with Atletico about taking the Spain international on-loan.
United have long held interest in Saul, though Chelsea are now regarded as favourites to land the midfielder.
While Saul has played Atletico's opening two LaLiga games of the new season, he is unhappy with the role he is playing and favours leaving for abroad.
Juventus are also interested and prepared to set up a permanent deal involving cash and a player exchange.
