The billionaire has given manager Claudio Ranieri a massive transfer kitty, believed to be another £100 million or so, but it is being claimed that Abramovich is now looking at the bigger picture.
Abramovich's advisors have urged him to find a feeder club and he has been told that Holland is one of Europe's finest breeding grounds.
Gouden Gids Divisie sides De Graafschap and Eindhoven have reportedly been put under the microscope, with it being claimed that the team earmarked for selection would benefit from being handed some of the brightest Stamford Bridge prospects who are unable to break into the first team.
It is being suggested that the Stamford Bridge hierarchy will assess the situation over the next fortnight before a decision about whether to press ahead or not is made.
Blues chief Ranieri, meanwhile, has claimed that failing to win The Premiership will not be a disaster.
"I don't see not winning the title as a disappointment," he said. "The thing is not to turn it into an obsession.
"This year is still about the foundations. The team link together every day and we move onwards.
"Whenever we play, we play to win. But winning a trophy, whatever trophy, will be a major boost."
