Chelsea are understood to have made an offer for Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho.
Sky Sports News has been told the offer is a loan that could become an obligation to buy if certain thresholds are met.
The loan fee is thought to be more than Juventus offered for Sancho and talks are continuing between Chelsea and United ahead of the 11pm deadline.

Gary Neville says Chelsea and Manchester United are paying for past mistakes made in transfer windows – but believes his former side have done well with their deals this summer
Juventus were keen to sign Sancho on loan but there is a feeling within the Italian side that the 24-year-old prefers a move to Stamford Bridge, and they will not pursue a deal unless the conditions drastically change.
United would prefer to sell Sancho but have not ruled out agreeing another loan for the England international, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
Sancho has two years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, with United retaining the option to extend the deal by a further 12 months.
Asked on Friday afternoon if he expected Sancho to stay, Erik ten Hag said: “As I know, yes. He’s playing in our squad and we’re happy with him.
“We need depth in the squad. We need options.”

Chelsea would ideally offload players before Friday’s 11pm deadline, including Raheem Sterling. United remain open to the idea of signing the 29-year-old but are not actively pursuing a deal.
The Blues’ move for Sancho is likely to be a standalone deal but United have explored a move for Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka.
