Three Chelsea players could join Barcelona after this season

Barcelona are targeting low-cost defensive and midfield signings this summer and they could include three Chelsea defenders, ESPN reports.

Barca have sounded out moves for at least five players, including Chelsea defenders Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Marcos Alonso.

Azpilicueta and Christensen could arrive as free agents in the summer, but Alonso still has one year to run on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

This is so they can go all out for Borussia Dortmund striker, Erling Haaland.

Manchester City, PSG and Real Madrid are all eyeing Haaland, but Barca president Joan Laporta is determined to bring the Norway striker to Camp Nou.

Haaland, 21, is expected to leave Dortmund this summer when a release clause reportedly worth around €75 million kicks in.

Laporta has already held several meetings with the forward’s agent, Mino Raiola, to broach a potential deal.
