Xavi remains involved with the possible deals for Chelsea duo Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso over moves to Barcelona this summer, according to reports. It comes as Thomas Tuchel looks to continue his squad transformation over the transfer window, with one month left before it shuts.
It has been a slower process than expected for the Blues so far though, with only a few exits and two signings made so far. This led to the manager complaining about his options heading into the first game of the season: "I cannot guarantee we will be ready [for the start of the season] in two weeks.
“It's the same players so why should anything change? We will see hopefully development but at the moment we have the same issues because we have the same players."
