Chelsea have been drawn in by World Cup performances and could be set to finally get one over Barcelona in the transfer market. The Blues lost out to the Catalan giants multiple times over the summer with Ousmane Dembele, Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowksi and Raphinha all ending up in Spain.
Andreas Christensen and Marcos Alonso made the move from London as well, whilst Cesar Azpilicueta was expected too but signed a new deal when other moves failed to come off. Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang joined eventually but the saga of the summer with Frenkie de Jong's undecided future was another deal left behind.
With financial issues and on-field disruption in Europe, Barcelona could be there for the taking in the market in 2023, and Chelsea aren't ready to put past disputes behind them in a bid to secure their own targets.
