Todd Boehly has been pictured in Barcelona amid Chelsea's ongoing summer transfer saga with the Catalan giants. Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso have both been heavily linked with moves to the Camp Nou, meanwhile, Ousmane Dembele and Frenkie de Jong have both been subject to interest from Stamford Bridge.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the American billionaire met with the Barcelona board to discuss the futures of the Blues defenders, among 'many other topics' too. Azpilicueta and Alonso are both said to have agreed personal terms with Xavi's side ahead of a potential move, with Boehly eager to find an ultimatum.
When asked by journalists for a motive for his attendance at a restaurant - Via Veneto - in Barcelona with masses of paperwork under his arm, Boehly insisted - while smirking - that he was there for a meal. Chelsea's stand-in transfer chief answered: "We're here to have a meal."
