Few teams have crossed paths quite like Chelsea and Barcelona have over the course of the summer transfer window so far. The two sides have continually battled it out for their transfer targets in the market, with the La Liga club just about getting the upper hand so far.
Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Jules Kounde and Kalidou Koulibaly have all been subject of links with either side, with the Blaugrana landing three of those targets to the Blues' one. While the two have clashed in the market at this point, talks between the two may have to pick up to land targets from the clubs.
Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso have both been rumoured with a switch to Spain, while midfielder Frenkie de Jong could move the other way. This would require plenty of negotiations though, given the financial position of Barca and the complexity of their transfer business so far.
