Chelsea are said to have taken ‘the first steps’ towards a deal to sign Suso from Milan.
According to reports in Italy, as cited on Sport Witness, the Blues have started working on a potential deal.
The player has a €38 million release clause in his contract and there are concerns in Italy that the Spaniard could be on the move.
Liverpool have previously been linked with a move to re-sign the player, while the report claims that there is also interest from Athletic Bilbao.
The Italian side have been working on a renewal in a bid to remove the release clause from his contract, but the Rossoneri may need to secure Champions League football in order to do so.
The former Liverpool man was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window, with Maurizio Sarri said to be a huge admirer of the player.
