Chelsea have had an offer for Wayne Rooney of £10 million plus Juan Mata or David Luiz turned down by Manchester United, according to widespread reports.
Rooney's future has been the subject of intense speculation since former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson claimed the club had turned down a second transfer request in three years from the striker.
New Red Devils boss David Moyes has said the England international is not for sale, although his comments regarding whether the player is one of the first names on his team sheet have reportedly left Rooney "angry and confused".
Arsenal have been linked with the former Everton player, but Chelsea's approach, reported by the BBC and Daily Mail among others, is thought to be the first firm offer for his services, as Blues manager Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his attacking options.
The inclusion of Mata or Luiz in the proposed deal is a surprise, particularly as the Spain international scored 12 goals in 35 Premier League appearances last season, while the defender impressed during Brazil's recent Confederations Cup success.
Mourinho is a long-term admirer of Rooney, and the Portuguese this week voiced his belief that England's World Cup hopes could suffer if the forward is not playing regularly during the 2013-14 season.
