Eden Hazard, Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele are allegedly all regarded as options for Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window.
While the European and world champions are well stocked all over the pitch, changes are expected to be made to Thomas Tuchel's squad ahead of 2022-23.
There is scope for every area either being strengthened or updated, with Chelsea's lack of efficiency in the final third potentially leading to at least one fresh face.
football.london suggests that the Blues will consider the pros and cons when it comes to signing either Hazard, Raphinha or Dembele.
Real Madrid are said to be open to agreeing a loan deal for Hazard, while Barcelona winger Dembele will almost certainly be available on a free transfer.
Leeds United playmaker Raphinha is also a realistic option, particularly if the Yorkshire giants do not retain their Premier League status for another 12 months.
Much could depend on whether Chelsea have to enter the market for a new centre-back and wing-back with uncertainty remaining over the futures of Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger.
