With the transfer window set to open for Premier League clubs on 10 June, clubs will be looking at their squads and wondering which players will be around next season. Chelsea in particular have a long list of potential departures as Thomas Tuchel will look to transform his squad going into a new era under new owners.
One player who has renewed his contract in recent months is captain Cesar Azpilicueta, but that does not prevent the 32-year-old from being linked with a move away from west London. It is being reported by the Mundo Deportivo that Barcelona are looking at both Azpilicueta and teammate Marcos Alonso as they look to revamp their defence.
Losing both players would mean that Tuchel would have to work with the new owners in order to build a new defence, with only Ben Chilwell, Trevor Chalobah, Reece James, Malang Sarr and Thiago Silva looking likely to remain at the club. The reports say that the pair are 'seduced' by the prospect of playing for Xavi for the Catalan giants.
