Chelsea are reportedly ready to up their pursuit of Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann by offering £35.6m plus Mohamed Salah to land the forward.
The 24-year-old scored 25 goals for the Rojiblancos last season to record the highest tally by a French player in a single La Liga campaign.
Following an impressive showing at Atletico, in what was his first campaign at the club after joining from Real Sociedad 12 months ago, Griezmann has been linked with a number of European heavyweights.
One of those clubs rumoured to be interested is Paris Saint-Germain, who are reported to have recently made a £28.5m bid for the Frenchman.
However, Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Chelsea are planning a big-money offer of their own, with Salah also included in the deal in an attempt to beat PSG to the player's signature.
It has previously been suggested that Atleti will not allow Griezmann to leave this summer for anything less than £46m.
