Cesar Azpilicueta is in advanced talks with Barcelona over a move this summer, according to reports in Spain.
The Chelsea defender, who arrived in London in 2012 from Marseille, sees his contract run out at the end of the current season.
That would allow clubs outside of the UK to sign a pre-contract agreement with the Spaniard next month.
And according to El Nacional, talks are already advanced between the Blues captain and the Catalan outfit.
The paper states that Xavi is personally pushing for the deal to go through, with club president Joan Laporta agreeind to his wish.
