Werder Bremen hope to sign Claudio Pizarro from Chelsea after the Peru striker's successful loan spell at the German club last season.
The 30-year-old is due to report for Chelsea training next week but is expected to be offloaded by new Stamford Bridge boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Galatasaray and Stuttgart are also interested, but none are likely to match his current £55,000 a week salary, with two years left on his current contract.
But, after scoring 25 in 42 appearances last season, Bremen are keen to have him back at the Weserstadion.
Werder general manager Klaus Allofs said: 'We are intensively working on having him here for the new season and potentially also for more than just the new campaign. He is a great striker and has shown what he can do for the club.'
