Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is hopeful a new deal can be agreed in the next few weeks after positive words from new manager Frank Lampard.
The 18-year-old has one year of his contract remaining and handed in a transfer request in January.
But Lampard said he wants the England international to stay, which BBC Sport understands has encouraged the player.
Formal contract talks are yet to begin but a five-year deal worth over £100,000 a week is on the table.
In January, Bayern Munich had a £35m offer rejected by Chelsea and the German side still retain an interest in the teenager, who is recovering from an Achilles injury suffered in April.
That process is said to be going well, with a return possible as soon as September.
Playing time is still the key issue for Hudson-Odoi. He made 24 appearances under former boss Maurizio Sarri last season, but had to wait until April to make his first Premier League start.
It is understood he will seek assurances from Lampard, who took charge of the Blues earlier in July.
