Gael Kakuta is leaving Chelsea this summer.
The French winger still has a year to run on his current Blues deal.
But L'Equipe says Sevilla are now set to meet with Blues chiefs to thrash out a compensation deal for the 23-year-old.
Kakuta impressed on loan at Rayo Vallecano this season with five goals in 34 appearances for the La Liga club.
He joined Chelsea from Lens in 2007.
