Barcelona planning double raid on Chelsea

The latest report has claimed that Spanish club Barcelona are planning a double raid on Chelsea.

This could see Barcelona sign Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta in the summer transfer window.

Christensen and Azpilicueta, who are noth key defenders in the Blues squad, will become free agents in the summer of 2022, but the Blues are still determined to tie both players down to new contracts.

As of now, Azpilicueta and Christensen are both free to discuss terms with other clubs, though, and Barca may need to prioritise defensive reinforcements if the in-demand Ronald Araujo heads elsewhere.

According to Sport, Barca director Jordi Cruyff hopes to see deals for both players wrapped up “in the coming days”, with the Catalans trying to save their transfer fund for their summer striker search.

The report added that Azpilicueta is already on the verge of securing a move to Camp Nou on a three-year deal, while the Spanish side are awaiting a response on an offer made to Christensen.

So far this season, Azpilicueta has scored one goal and made three assists in 28 appearances for Chelsea, while Christensen has scored two goals and created an assist in 22 matches.
