Barcelona are making a double raid on Chelsea.

Barca president Joan Laporta is making a serious pitch to defensive pair Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen about next season.

Both Chelsea players are off contract in June and can sign pre-contract terms with Barca from January 1 later this week.

Sport says Azpilicueta and Christensen have rejected contract offers from Chelsea and are both in talks with Barca.

Laporta is being kept up to date on the progress of negotiations and the feedback has been positive in the last 48 hours.
