Lille have listed three players ahead of the January transfer window, sending Europe's leading sides into red alert but Marina Granovskaia has already put Chelsea in the driving seat.
Not only are the Blues armed with the title of European champions, like so in 2012, but Roman Abramovich's transfer chief is also equipped with the secret weapon that prised Eden Hazard to Stamford Bridge.
The Ligue 1 champions have opened the doors to the winter sales of Renato Sanches, Jonathan Ikone and Zeki Celik to combat the club's growing financial difficulties, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.
According to various reports, Hazard's former side have labelled the trio with a cumulative price tag of £64.8 million; Sanches (£29.9m), Ikone (£21.4m), Celik (£13.5m) - however, Chelsea already face a handful of competition.
Premier League title rivals Liverpool registered interest in the services of Sanches in the summer and were close to finalising a permanent deal, according to Portuguese transfer insider Pedro Almeida .
However, 90min reported that Wolves were close to sealing a deal for the 24-year-old central midfielder earlier in the summer too; this time a season-long loan - neither report materialised.
Ikone, who had a £60 million price tag last summer according to Lefoot sees his current deal at the French champions expire in 2023 and is being tracked by West Ham, Everton and AC Milan, as per Le10sport.
