Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly may be able to finally get some revenge on Barcelona for poaching transfer targets last summer by landing a La Masia wonderkid in the next few months. The fate of the Blues last year was entwined with that of the Blaugrana, who both needed a rebuild in the market.
The La Liga side signed former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen on a free transfer after the Dane failed to agree a new contract early in the window. Then came battles between the two sides for Raphinha and Jules Kounde, which sparked plenty of outrage in west London as Barca won the tussle.
There had been a dragged on saga over a potential switch for Marcos Alonso as Xavi Hernandez's side continue to battle with scaling back their financial obligations, with a deal eventually passing for a free transfer. The last crossing in the market then came as the two clubs agreed another deal with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang moving to Stamford Bridge.
