Chelsea will reportedly announce the signing of Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona once the Catalan giants secure the signature of Ivan Rakitic.
The former Arsenal captain has been heavily linked with a switch to West London after reports emerged claiming that Barcelona are open to offloading the Spaniard.
It is believed that Chelsea have agreed a deal worth around £27m to bring Fabregas back to the Premier League.
However, according to El Mundo Deportivo, the transfer will not be officially completed until Rakitic makes a move to Camp Nou.
The Sevilla midfielder is said to be closing in on a £16m move to the former La Liga champions.
