Chelsea have reportedly reached an agreement with Barcelona over a potential deal for an unknown player in the ongoing transfer window.
According to journalist Gerard Romero, new Blues owner Todd Boehly responded positively when he was asked about reaching an agreement with Barcelona.
Romero also claimed that a meeting between the two clubs happened to negotiate the arrivals of Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso at the Camp Nou.
Apart from the aforementioned Chelsea defenders, two other players are also involved, namely Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong and forward Memphis Depay.
Earlier, news outlet Relevo reported that De Jong is "more attracted" to continuing his career at Chelsea than Manchester United. However, the player's "main will is to stay" at the Camp Nou this summer.
Meanwhile, the Blaugrana reportedly owe De Jong over £17 million in deferred salary payments, as per The Telegraph. The playmaker is seemingly reluctant to depart until he receives the money from the Catalan outfit.
Earlier this week, Andreas Christensen completed his move to Barcelona on a free transfer after his contract expired at Chelsea. The 26-year-old centre-back, who currently has a buy-out clause of €500 million, penned a four-year contract with the La Liga club.
Christensen featured in 160 matches for the Blues, becoming a regular name in the starting lineup after returning from a loan spell at Borussia Monchengladbach.
During his time at Stamford Bridge, the Denmark international helped the Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League along with three other trophies.
