Reports linking Chelsea defender Reece James with a move to Barcelona this summer are wide of the mark.
That is according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who claims James is considered 'untouchable' at Stamford Bridge and there is nothing currently behind the recent rumours between him and Barcelona. Barca remain very much under the microscope in terms of financial fair play and therefore will have to tread carefully in the upcoming summer transfer window, despite the fact they are keen to re-sign Lionel Messi.
But those financial issues are said to have put them behind Chelsea in the race for young Brazilian striker Vitor Roque, despite reports suggesting the Camp Nou is his favoured destination. Barca are on the verge of winning La Liga for the first time since 2019, but right back is an area of weakness within their squad.
