Wow, it really is starting to look like Barcelona are set to sign three Chelsea defenders this summer.
Andreas Christensen has been all but officially confirmed now by the majority of top sources, so it looks like he is certainly heading to Barcelona when he becomes a free agent at the end of next month.
Robert Lewandowski’s agent to reignite Chelsea move for his client?
"We're losing him", Thomas Tuchel finally confirms on Andreas Christensen. The deal has been completed weeks ago with Barcelona, it's already signed: Danish centre back will play for Barça next season. 🔵🔴🤝 #FCB

But he isn’t the only one. Romano also confirms that there are now ‘no doubts’ that Marcos Alonso will also sign for Barcelona this summer, and they are also working on signing the current club captain, Cesar Azpilicueta.

It’s quite remarkable that they are going to take three of Chelsea’s senior defenders this summer, as well as Antonio Rudiger also joining them in Spain at Real Madrid.
Best of luck to them all, although I should really say best of luck to Barcelona, as I’m really not disappointed if we lose all three of these guys. I say that with respect and thanks for their service, but the time is right.
