Barcelona are allegedly close to agreeing deals for Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen and AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.

Barcelona have reportedly moved to the brink of signing Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie from Chelsea and AC Milan respectively.

Despite their well-documented financial issues, the Catalan giants are in the market for several high-profile additions ahead of next season.

While Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland is said to be a priority, club officials are also targeting potential free agents, such as Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta.

However, according to reports in Spain, Barcelona are closer to getting deals for Christensen and Kessie over the line.

Although both situations are not regarded as done deals, it is suggested that Barcelona are in the final stages of concluding the respective transfers.

Chelsea have reportedly failed in last-ditch negotiations with Danish defender Christensen, while Milan have been unable to reach an agreement over fresh terms with key midfielder Kessie.
