CSKA want around £27 million for Golovin, which has not put off Chelsea. The club believe the 22 year-old can add attacking impetus to their squad and are confident he could make an impact in the Premier League.
Should they be successful in their pursuit of Golovin, Chelsea would not look to send him on loan, but instead keep him to challenge for a place next season.
Cesc Fabregas and Pedro are both aged over 30 and have only one year remaining on their contracts, while there is ongoing doubt over Willian’s future.
Chelsea want to sell midfielder Danny Drinkwater, who they value at more than £30m, but will not consider any bids for Ruben Loftus-Cheek or Ross Barkley.
Former Russia national team manager Leonid Slutsky, who is close friends with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, has been key to Golovin’s progression having taken the player to CSKA.
Slutsky is now manager of Vitesse Arnhem, but there is no prospect of Golovin joining Chelsea and then moving to Holland on loan.

Golovin
impressed former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho during Russia’s 5-0
thrashing of Saudi Arabia in the first match of the World Cup. Mourinho
said: “Golovin is a playmaker, he's a player that gives the dynamic of
the team.”
Golovin was last season linked with Napoli, whose former manager
Maurizio Sarri is expected to succeed Antonio Conte as Chelsea’s head
coach ahead of the start of pre-season training.
