Chelsea are currently engaging in negotiations with Villarreal for the potential acquisition of Nicolas Jackson, a talented forward.
It is understood that Chelsea are willing to fulfill the €35m (£29.8m) release clause, with the ongoing discussions primarily focusing on the payment structure and the inclusion of performance-based incentives.
Informal talks with Jackson's representatives have been positive and personal terms are not expected to be a problem if and when a deal can be struck.

The 21-year-old was close to joining Bournemouth in January, but a hamstring injury scuppered the move.
Chelsea reject Man Utd's £40m bid for Mount
Chelsea have "immediately rejected" Manchester United's opening bid for midfielder Mason Mount.
The offer is thought to be worth £40m.
United privately have a clear understanding of their financial limits and there is a significant disparity in valuations.
In addition, United is exploring various alternatives and is open to abandoning the deal if necessary.
Mount has only one remaining year on his contract with Stamford Bridge, and it is increasingly evident that he desires to pursue this transfer.
United has determined a specific price for the 24-year-old and is determined not to exceed it, considering he is entering the last year of his existing agreement with the Chelsea academy.
Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo has been on Manchester United's radar for quite some time, and if the move for their primary target falls through, the club has identified him as a potential alternative. In order to stay updated on the latest developments surrounding the highly sought-after 21-year-old, United has requested to be kept informed.
