The Daily Mail claims that Turan wants to join Chelsea in a £29million deal this summer.
The Blues, though, face stiff competition from Paris Saint Germain, while Manchester United and Arsenal have also registered an interest.
But sources close to Turan have indicated the midfielder prefers a switch to west London, with having the chance to work with Jose Mourinho a big attraction for the Turk.
The news leaves Chelsea are front-runners to land Turan this summer, but it remains to be seen whether Mourinho is prepared to meet the player’s £29million release clause.
Turan’s agent recently confirmed that his client’s future could be finalised within the ‘next four days’.
In addition, European football expert Andy Brassell told talkSPORT he believes the Turkish international will end up at Old Trafford.
“Everyone should be interested in him, including Chelsea,” Brassell said.
