Barcelona are in a bit of a terrible financial situation as things stand.

The Spanish giants are in trouble financially and this is proving difficult to build a successful team for the future.

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, they are likely to be forced to look at players that will cost them zero transfer fees in the summer, i/e free agents.

It would be amazing if you guys subscribed for my project over at Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, where we are putting out so much Chelsea content including DAILY Newsletters, exclusive news, breaking news, Podcasts, interviews, inside information, and bringing in some massive guests!

And here is where Chelsea come into the story. As we know, The Blues have a number of defenders in the last years of their contracts at the club this season and from January they can agree a pre-contract with a new club.

Barcelona are allegedly eyeing the potential of snapping up Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Andreas Christensen next summer.

Seems rather far-fetched to me. I mean, if they are struggling that badly financially, how are they going to compete with other massive clubs prepared to offer them the big wages? Can’t see it lads, sorry.
