Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann is reportedly keen on a move to Chelsea in the summer, but would like to know if the Blues are interested in him.
Griezmann, 24, has been excellent in his first season at the Vicente Calderon, scoring 25 goals in all competitions for Diego Simeone's team.
But, according to the Daily Telegraph , with Atletico keen to renegotiate his deal, the France international wants to sound out a potential move to the Premier League champions before committing his future to the Rojiblanco.
Griezmann has a £43million buy-out clause in his contract.
Chelsea have apparently been interested on Griezmann for the last couple of years, with the forward able to play anywhere across the front three - 22 of his goals have come in La Liga, where he trails only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

But the Blues are looking to the future with the best young keeper in the world. 8.5/10

Chelsea season player ratings Petr Cech It's a shame that his Chelsea career had to end in this manner, but Cech will go down as the best goalkeeper in club history and is easily in the top two since the advent of the Premier League. Was called upon numerous times this season and proved he is still one of the best in the world, playing a vital role. 7

Chelsea season player ratings Branislav Ivanovic Has played every minute of every Premier League game to stake his claim as the best right-back in the division. Defensively stout, full of energy and a real threat in the attacking half, where he notched five goals and five assists in all competitions. A cult hero. 8.5

Chelsea season player ratings Gary Cahill Jose Fonte probably has a case to be angry that Cahill pipped him to the Team of the Year. The England man has had a really up and down season, with the lowest point coming in an awful display at White Hart Lane when Chelsea lost 5-3. Earned his place back in the team and has been much better ever since. 7.5

Chelsea season player ratings Cesar Azpilicueta After seeing off Ashley Cole last season, Filipe Luis was bought in to oust the right-footed Azpilicueta from the left-back spot, but he couldn't do it. The Spaniard is one of the best defenders in the league and has made the position his own, a ruthless defender who provides great support and cover to Chelsea's main man, Eden Hazard. 8

Chelsea season player ratings John Terry An absolutely flawless season. He will be blamed for the 5-3 at Spurs but he didn't actually play too badly in that game. Played every minute of every game and hasn't put a foot wrong once. The best defender in the division by a long, long way. 10

Chelsea season player ratings Filipe Luis Chelsea will be hailed for their summer business when pundits look back on 2014-15 but they weren't all hits. A £15.8m signing who never fit in, Luis may well leave the club after starting just seven league games. 2
GETTY IMAGES
Chelsea season player ratings Kurt Zouma The mountainous defender has been a revelation. The 20-year-old hasn't played as many games as it may seem (16 starts in all comps) but that's because he has come up big in the biggest games. Mourinho has trusted the Frenchman agaiinst Chelsea's biggest threats and he's come through. Has a major future at Stamford Bridge. 7.5

Chelsea season player ratings MIDFIELDERS: Cesc Fabregas Has slowed down in the second half of the season because of injury, tiredness and as nerves have set in amongst the squad, but take nothing away from Fabregas, he is the biggest difference between Chelsea from last season and this one. The Blues didn't have anything close to a midfielder as good as the Spaniard last season, who has provided five goals and 21 assists for the Blues in all competitions. 9

Chelsea season player ratings Ramires Injury has slowed down the Brazilian to just 11 starts but he plays a vital role in the Chelsea squad, whether playing as a box-to-box driving force, a holding midfielder or as an extra man in defensive line-ups. 6
Chelsea season player ratings John Obi Mikel Has barely featured because of injury and the impressive play of other midfielders, especially when Chelsea were playing the best football in the division at the start of the season. Still, against certain teams Mikel is a much needed defensive shield who they would miss if he went. 4
Chelsea season player ratings Nemanja Matic The best defensive midfielder in England, Matic has formed a formidable partnership with Fabregas that has no weaknesses. Supremely comfortable on the ball, a great reader of the game and able to win the physical battle against the majority of opponents, the big Serbian is a wrecking ball in midfield. 8.5
GETTY IMAGES
Chelsea season player ratings Oscar Impresses in fits and starts but never seems to have a consistent run of games where he is the main man. An attacking midfielder for a table topping team should probably score more than seven goals in a season. His greatest asset is his work rate and tactical discipline - that's both praise and criticism. 6.5
GETTY IMAGES
Chelsea season player ratings Willian Like Oscar , Willian does a vital job in this Chelsea team as an outlet, on the counter-attack and as an extra defender through sheer work rate. He may be under instruction but Willian simply does not score or create enough goals to be considered among the best, even though he has the talent. Three goals and five assists all season isn't enough. 7

Chelsea season player ratings Juan Cuadrado Whisper it, but this is starting to look like a bit of a misstep by Chelsea. He's been in England less than six months so things like language, settling into a new city and playing with new team-mates are all factors. But the Colombian has not shown anything in Blue. Has only started three games since he joined and was terrible against Palace. A full pre-season should help. 2

Chelsea season player ratings Eden Hazard Without equal in the Premier League, Hazard is not only Chelsea's main man, but he is the man for the big occasion. The Belgian deservedly won the Player of the Year award. He is Chelsea's plan A, B and C, the man they look for to inspire them to victory. 10

Chelsea season player ratings STRIKERS: Loic Remy Injury stopped the Frenchman from playing a bigger part in Chelsea's season - he seemed to have terrible luck all year. But seven goals, including important strikes against Man City, Hull and Stoke, went a long way in Chelsea's march to the title. 6
Getty Images
Chelsea season player ratings Didier Drogba At 37 he's showing his age but seven goals for a third-choice striker who probably wasn't expected to play as much as he has is a very good haul. Clearly still a key influence in the dressing room even if his skills on the pitch are declining. 6
Getty Images
Chelsea season player ratings Diego Costa What a first season in England, Costa justified his hefty price-tag with a brilliant maiden year at Stamford Bridge. 19 Premier League goals gave Chelsea something they hadn't had in recent years and he set the tone with his fiery, fiesty attitude. A great target man and focal point. 9
Chelsea season player ratings DEPARTURES: Andre Schurrle As noted with Cuadrado, the swap move is starting to look like a mistake. Schurrle is a player of real quality who didn't want to spend his time on the Blues bench. He seemed to come back from the World Cup fatigued and the German didn't always seem willing to do the work that would make him a Mourinho favourite. A shame as he's a really talented attacker. 4

Chelsea season player ratings Mohamed Salah Forget the form at Fiorentina (!), Chelsea were right to get rid of the Egyptian, who never impressed in Blue. On the rare occassion he was trusted to start - against lower league opposition in the cup competitions - he was awful. Perhaps he was so afraid of making a mistake it made him worse. 1

Jose Mourinho figures to be short a forward next season after seeing Andre Schurrle and Mohamed Salah in January, bringing in Juan Cuadrado, whilst Didier Drogba's future remains unclear.
The Blues have a great relationship with Atletico Madrid, Thibaut Courtois spent three years on loan at the club and the Blues bought Diego Costa and Filipe Luis from them last summer.
Luis could return to his former club and as well as Griezmann, Jose Mourinho has targeted midfielder Koke and centre-back Diego Godin as potential new arrivals.
