Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta is reluctant to hand in a 'transfer request' to force Blues exit as Barcelona reportedly demand the Spaniard takes action to help secure La Liga transfer.
Xavi and senior figures at the Catalan-based club are hopeful of producing a triple swoop of Chelsea defenders. However, with the recent financial difficulties present at the Camp Nou, progress on three deals has stalled slightly. Andreas Christensen, who was released by the Blues in their recent retained and released list, is expected to sign his contract imminently alongside AC Milan's Franck Kessie.
Both players had to wait until Thursday evening to find out that the economic levers vote, which would essentially give Barca much-needed money to balance the books and conduct transfer activity in the short term, although their well-publicised financial, problems mean they must still be careful not to fall foul of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
