Wolfsburg are ready to go higher for Chelsea winger Andre Schurrle.
The Daily Express says Chelsea are now prepared to sell the Germany international.
Schurrle has found first team opportunities limited at Stamford Bridge this season and the Bundesliga club are ready to pay as much as £27.5m to complete a deal this month.
Wolfsburg had made a previous offer of £23.5m earlier this month.
