Chelsea are pushing ahead with an attempt to convince Carlo Ancelotti to become their next manager.
Speculation is gathering pace that the Milan boss is the man that Roman Abramovich wants to replace Avram Grant and mount another assault on The Premier League and Europe.
Sources in Italy claim Ancelotti can double his money by moving to Stamford Bridge and he will be armed with a €100 million transfer kitty with current Rossoneri star Kaka already forwarded as a possible target.
Blues legend Gianfranco Zola could even be afforded a coaching role as part of the new set-up which would send shockwaves through European football.
Milan have insisted that Ancelotti is staying at the club and denied Chelsea permission to speak with the experienced coach.
Nevertheless, Abramovich reportedly met his target at a hotel in Paris this week to discuss the vacant managerial position in West London.
Mark Hughes has also been touted as a strong contender for the post, although he has been given permission to discuss the job at Manchester City.
A number of other names have been in the frame, including Luiz Felipe Scolari, Roberto Mancini and Didier Deschamps, but Ancelotti is emerging as the leading contender.
