Chelsea could miss out on long-term target Jules Kounde who is reportedly in advanced talks with a move to Barcelona.
The Sevilla defender has been Thomas Tuchel's top target for the past year having seen a deal collapse for the 23-year-old last summer when the two clubs were unable to agree on a fee.
Catalunya Radio have now reported that the French international is in 'advanced talks' over a move to the Nou Camp this summer.

It's said that Barcelona have 'agreed a deal in principle' with their LaLiga rivals, which would see them pay £51million and send a player in the opposite direction.
Barcelona are trying to include American international Sergino Dest in the move - who has been linked to a host of clubs across Europe this summer.
