Chelsea are eyeing Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto.

The People says Barcelona are looking to increase Roberto's buyout clause amid Chelsea's growing interest in the gifted youngster.

The Blues have regularly sent scouts to watch the 23-year-old this season.

That interest, as well as that from other top European clubs, has prompted the La Liga giants to seek talks with the midfielder.

It is understood that Roberto's current release clause is set at £21.5m but Barca boss Luis Enrique is keen to raise it closer to the £32m mark.
