Chelsea tell Barcelona asking price for wantaway duo as Frenkie de Jong cost reduced

Chelsea have reportedly told Barcelona they must pay €25million to sign both Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso, a deal which is looking more likely by the minute.

That's because Chelsea are now believed to be seriously interested in signing Frenkie de Jong, who's been linked with a move to rivals Manchester United all summer. The Blues could agree a swap deal with Barcelona for the midfielder, 25, reducing his £71m valuation.

It's claimed Chelsea are in talks with Barcelona for De Jong and there's a chance he could end up at Stamford Bridge soon. The Spanish club reportedly want him off their books due to him being one of their highest earners and because he'd command a high transfer fee.
