Chelsea look likely to lose out in the race to sign Marco Verratti from PSG.
Antonio Conte has the Italian midfielder high on his summer wish-list but Barcelona look set to trump the Blues.
Goal is of the belief that Barça are determined to lure the 24-year-old from the French capital to Catalonia as they see him as the perfect replacement for Xavi, who left the Nou Camp two years ago.
Conte is keen to play Verratti alongside N'Golo Kante in central midfield at Stamford Bridge but Barcelona feel they will beat off any competition, even though PSG say they have no intention of selling.
Barcelona believe they will have to pay around around £70million (€80m) to land Verratti this summer.
