Dominic Solanke has just one year left on his current £8,000 a week deal and Chelsea were surprised this week when his contract talks stalled.
The youngster has demanded a deal of £50,000 a week and the promise of first-team opportunities to remain at Chelsea, despite only making one first-team appearance and spending a year on loan in Holland.
Solanke joined Chelsea in the Under 8s, but he is becoming increasingly concerned by the lack of opportunities for young players at Stamford bridge.
