The Pato transfer saga has dragged on since the announcement of Ancelotti's appointment at Chelsea.
Milan are rumoured to have continued to rebuff the Blues' approaches for their Brazilian teenage sensation, with an offer of around €45 million (£38.8m) believed to be the latest bid rejected.
Adriano Galliani has insisted Pato is not for sale, but The Sun is now reporting Chelsea officials are set to meet with Milan representatives in the next 24 hours to discuss a deal, with Ancelotti apparently yet to arrive in London as he awaits news of the negotiations.
The former Milan coach officially became Chelsea manager on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are set to sign Middlesbrough goalkeeper Ross Turnbull and Manchester City striker Daniel Sturridge, with a tribunal deciding a compensation fee for the latter as his contract has expired and he is under the age of 23.
The Blues begin their pre-season friendlies with a trip to America to face the Seattle Sounders on July 18.
