Transfer gossip: Barca interested in Azpilicueta, Telegraph say

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Chelsea’s Cesar Azpilicueta is on a list of potential Barcelona targets, the Daily Telegraph say.

Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin is reportedly Barcelona’s first choice to replace Dani Alves, who is leaving the Nou Camp.

But with the Gunners looking to tie Bellerin to a new contract, the Telegraph say Barca are considering a number of other possible signings and that Azpilicuata, who has also been linked with Athletic Bilbao, is among them.

The Telegraph also say keeper Asmir Begovic will almost certainly leave Chelsea if Thibaut Courtois stays at Stamford Bridge.

Crystal Palace are said to be among the clubs interested in signing the Bosnian.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror suggest Roma would be willing to sell midfielder Radja Nainggolan despite the Italian club insisting he will stay.

Nainggolan being due a cut of any transfer fee is a stumbling block to a deal, it is claimed.
