Barcelona’s chances of sealing a deal for Adrien Rabiot could be impacted by Chelsea, reports in France indicate.
Rabiot has been lined up to head to the Nou Camp when his Paris Saint-Germain deal expires in the summer.
But L’Equipe indicates Chelsea are plotting a move to take him to Stamford Bridge this month.
Chelsea want to replace Cesc Fabregas, who left them to join Monaco in a £10m move this week.
Barcelona could also be threatened by Bayern Munich, who have set their sights on Rabiot as well.
