Barcelona 'line up deals for Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen' as cash-strapped LaLiga giants plan yet more free agent moves with Chelsea duo's contracts set to expire at the end of the season

Barcelona are interested in signing Chelsea duo Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen, according to reports.

The Blues defenders could both be available on free transfers next summer with their contracts expiring at the end of the season.

With the Catalans embroiled in financial ruin, due to their debt which stands at more than £1billion, the club were forced to resort to the free agent market with the signings of Sergio Aguero, Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia this summer.
