Barcelona chief explains how to seal deals amid Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta link

Barcelona sporting advisor Jordi Cruyff has revealed that the Catalan giants still have more transfer plans having unveiled Andreas Christensen as their latest signing. The 48-year-old acknowledged that Chelsea's takeover has delayed any business amid links to the likes of Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Blues duo are both set to see their contracts end in 2023, with the latter having only seen his contract extended after he saw a clause activated in his deal having played a designated amount of matches in 2021/22. Alonso has a desire to leave Stamford Bridge, while Chelsea are open to the Spaniard's sale.

Barcelona's financial issues which saw them sell 10% of the television rights of the club and require players to take pay-cuts last term, have held up a great deal of their transfer business so far this summer. Cruyff refused to name the club's targets but suggested they have been willing to take reduced terms.
