Chelsea linked with Barkley, Toure and Barca youngster

Chelsea have again been linked with Manchester City star Yaya Toure and Everton and England prospect Ross Barkley.

Following reports this morning that Blues midfielder Ramires is wanted by Real Madrid, the Express claim Chelsea are ready to sell the Brazilian in order to fund a move for Barkley.

However, the Express have also since suggested that Barkley could be on his way to Manchester City as a replacement for Toure, with Chelsea among the clubs that could therefore move for the Ivorian.

Liverpool and Manchester United are also said to be interested in Toure, who was linked with a possible move to Stamford Bridge during the summer.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are looking to beat Chelsea to the signing of Adrien Rabiot by making a big-money bid for the Paris St-Germain midfielder, again according to the Express.

Talksport reports that Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are keeping tabs on Barcelona’s Munir El Haddadi, 19, who is apparently wanted by Chelsea as well as Arsenal.

And caughtoffside.com claim Chelsea’s Mohamed Salah could join Tottenham for £13m when the transfer window reopens.
