Barcelona reportedly hope to conclude deals for Chelsea duo Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta in the coming days.

Barcelona are reportedly hopeful of concluding deals for Chelsea duo Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta imminently.

The two defenders are both due to become free agents in the summer of 2022, but the Blues are still determined to tie both players down to new contracts.

Azpilicueta and Christensen are both free to discuss terms with other clubs, though, and Barca may need to prioritise defensive reinforcements if the in-demand Ronald Araujo heads elsewhere.

According to Sport, Barca director Jordi Cruyff hopes to see deals for both players wrapped up "in the coming days", with the Catalans trying to save their transfer kitty for their summer striker search.

The report adds that Azpilicueta is already on the verge of securing a move to Camp Nou on a three-year deal, and they are awaiting a response on an offer made to Christensen.

Azpilicueta has registered one goal and three assists in 28 appearances for Chelsea this term, while Christensen has banked two goals and an assist in 22 matches.
