News regarding the transfers of players are continuously arising at FC Barcelona as the summer transfer window reaches its end. The Catalans are currently looking to complete the transfer of Joao Cancelo, and also have several exit operations in process at the moment.
Clement Lenglet is the primary candidate for an exit in these last days. However, Barcelona are also looking to lighten their forward line by selling one of the forwards, and Ez Abde is one of the players who has a significant demand in the current market. However, he is not the only Barcelona forward attracting the attention of other European sides.
Chelsea interested in two Barcelona forwards
According to the latest news from SPORT, two other Barcelona stars are also generating interest in the market. These two players are Ferran Torres and Raphinha, who are two candidates that the Premier League side, Chelsea, is looking at to strengthen their attack.
The report further mentions that the London club can make an approach for these players in the coming hours. Chelsea have already spent more than £350 million this summer, and this figure can rise even further as the Blues look to make another foray into the market.
Contrasting starts to the season for Barcelona pair
Ferran Torres is having a good start to this season, as he has already scored two decisive goals in three competitive games up to now. However, despite this form, the club can still consider an exit for him if a good offer arrives for him.
Raphinha had a good first season at Barcelona last year, but his start to this season has been disastrous. The Brazilian got a red card in the first match of the season, and had to miss the two ensuing games because of this suspension. However, he likes Mauricio Pochettino, and Chelsea also wanted to sign him last summer from Leeds, but he chose Barcelona at that time.
Still, there is no formal offer on the table yet, and Barcelona are not considering selling them right now. The players themselves also want to stay at Barcelona but things can change in the last few days of the market.
