As far as transfer news goes, Chelsea's summer window should be quite a boring topic, right? Wrong! The sanctions imposed on Roman Abramovich have caused the Blues to potentially lose out on prime targets such as Aurelien Tchouameni, Jules Kounde and could also cost them their defensive trio, Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, and Andreas Christensen.
Whilst it may take weeks to decipher exactly what is going on with Chelsea's initial transfer prospects, their newest eye candy could now end up in Spain. Not only have Barcelona made several attempts to lure Christensen and Azpilicueta away from the pride of London, they are now interested in Chelsea's latest target Raphinha. We cannot seem to catch a break without the Spaniards lurking right behind us to steal in.
I guess Thomas Tuchel's interest in Ousmane Dembele has a part to play in Barcelona's hunt for the Leeds forward. However, if we had to choose, surely the Brazilian comes out on top.
