The Blues were very quiet in January, but that’s not expected to be the case in the summer with a number positions needing to be addressed.

Chelsea are thought to still be in the market for a centre back, whilst it’s believed they want to add another midfielder and attacker.

Valentin Barco agrees to Chelsea move

It’s been reported a midfielder is a priority, with the Blues wanting to ease the burden on Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.

Chelsea have been linked with both Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton, but will face fierce competition from other clubs.

Another player the Blues have been linked with is Barco, and despite reports in Argentina suggesting a deal is done that isn’t the case.

Romano has confirmed a deal hasn’t been finalised with Strasbourg, but in his latest update he’s confirmed Barco has given his green light to join Chelsea.

“Valentin Barco has agreed to join Chelsea and is ready to join this summer,” he told his YouTube channel.

“Up to Chelsea now, their intention is to control the player and consider him one of first signings for next season.”

Barco has scored two goals and registered nine assists in 38 appearances in all competitions, with the 21-year-old one of Strasbourg’s most important players.
