The winter market closed more than a week ago and Barcelona strengthened their attack by adding Ferran Torres, Adama Traoré and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to their squad.

Xavi Hernández’s side have already started planning for the summer window and one of the players on their agenda is Chelsea captain César Azpilicueta.

The 32-year-old, who can operate anywhere across the back four, has a contract with the Blues expiring in June.

On February 9th, we relayed news from Spain the west London club are offering a one year extension, while the La Liga side are willing to make a ‘proposal of two years plus one’.

Today’s edition of Mundo Deportivo explains signing a new right-back is a ‘priority’ for the Spanish club.

Thomas Tuchel’s man is the one who ‘best fits the desired profile’ and Barca have ‘already made very serious moves’ to put themselves in a privileged position to take him away from the Champions League winners.

Azpilicueta has so far not made a decision on his future and wants to have a ‘face-to-face’ meeting with Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia, to sort out whether or not he will be at Stamford Bridge beyond this season.

Apart from the Blues star, Barcelona also have Noussair Mazraoui on their agenda. Mundo explain the Camp Nou side closely follow the Ajax player.
