Chelsea held further talks with Roma on Sunday as they try to agree a loan fee around £7m for Romelu Lukaku.
The 30-year-old is being asked to take a £7m cut to his annual salary of £17m.
The Blues have been attempting to move the Belgian on from the club throughout the summer but have faced stumbling blocks on many potential transfers.
Lukaku is not in new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino's plans and the Belgian has been in talks with several clubs.
The Belgian forward had admitted he was 'nervous' as a deal edges closer to completion.
