Barcelona are said to have reached an agreement to sign Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta this summer.
The Catalan giant have been linked with a move for the defender ahead of the 2022/23 season with his future still undecided at Stamford Bridge.
Azpilicueta is eligible for an extension to his expiring deal but he is considering a summer return to Spain with Barcelona keen on a free transfer offer.
The sanctions place by the UK government and the recent takeover by an American Billionaire Todd Boehly created uncertainty at the club.
Barcelona are now closing in on a two-year contract offer, with a 12-month extension clause, as part of a €13m annual salary package.
Azpilicueta is expected to wait until the end of the campaign to make a final decision on his future, with Chelsea chasing a Top Four finish, and a possible FA Cup title this month.
But if things return to normal at the Blues, the player might decide to stay.
