It was previously reported that the Thomas Tuchel-tutored are keen to go all out and sign Raheem Sterling to replace Romelu Lukaku who departed the club for Inter Milan.
Daily Mail claims the Stamford Bridge dwellers could make a move for two more City players including Nathan Ake and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Interest in the defensive duo of Ake and Zinchenko comes from the need for Chelsea to strengthen their backline after the departures of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger who moved to the La Liga.
However, it remains unclear if Man City would be willing to sell all three players to a direct rival for the Premier League.
Boehly and Tuchel have reportedly already discussed the possibility of signing the trio, though it could prove difficult to persuade the Citizens to strengthen one of their rivals.
