Chelsea are expected to plot moves for two midfielders being linked with Liverpool after seemingly pulling out of the race to sign Sporting's Manuel Ugarte.
Ugarte, a player who also emerged as a rumoured target for the Reds in the last month, now looks to be Paris Saint-Germain bound after Chelsea refused to match the wages being offered by the Ligue 1 champions for the Uruguayan.
The Londoners had been optimistic of striking a deal for the 22-year-old and had even offered Sporting a fee higher than the player's £55m release clause, according to talkSPORT.
