Chelsea's transfer chase for £90m Barcelona duo takes twist amid Premier League interest

Premier League clubs are reportedly 'monitoring the contract disputes' between Barcelona and Ronald Araujo and Gavi. According to Sky Sports, the young talents are attracting interest from elsewhere amid uncertainty over their situations with the La Liga club.

Araujo's current contract is due to expire at the end of next season, as per Transfermarkt, meaning there is set to be speculation over his future in the summer. The £36million-rated defender has been a standout performer for Barcelona this season - appearing 22 times in La Liga.

According to Goal, Araujo has been identified as a 'serious transfer target' for Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window. The futures of Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are all in doubt, so the Blues will be in the market for at least one new centre-back.
