Barcelona want to sign Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta on a free transfer as new Catalans boss Xavi is unimpressed with right-back options Sergino Dest and Sergi Roberto, say reports.
The Blues skipper has now entered the last seven months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and can start negotiating a pre-contract agreement for a free transfer in just a matter of weeks.
Meanwhile, Xavi is starting to make his judgement on Barcelona's under-performing players after taking the Camp Nou role last month.
