Chelsea are accelerating negotiations with Olympique Marseille for striker Didier Drogba.
The French side rejected a bid, thought to be £17 million, last month and BBC Sport says Chelsea have urged the French club to reconsider.
Chairman Christophe Bouchet told L'Equipe: "Didier will be in our team next season."
And a source close to the deal said: "Chelsea have offered £16.7m, which implies they have not upped their bid."
