Fabrizio Romano says Barcelona working on 3 free agent signings after Andreas Christensen deal
Barcelona are reportedly looking to sign three free agents in the summer after recently completing a deal for Andreas Christensen. According to Fabrizio Romano, Barca have set their sights on Cesar Azpilicueta, Franck Kessie and Noussair Mazraoui, who will all be free agents this summer.
Barcelona had an excellent winter transfer window as they signed some impressive players to the squad. The likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Adama Traore, Ferran Torres and Dani Alves have all contributed immensely to the club ever since their move to Catalunya.
Ferran Torres' deal was the only one where Barca paid a transfer fee estimated to be around €55 million. The rest of the transfers were loan deals and free transfers.
It looks like Barcelona will continue their strategy of signing players for free as the Catalans have reportedly signed Andreas Christensen. The Chelsea star will be a free agent this summer and Barca have already met the player's personal terms.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Catalans are set to sign AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie, Ajax star Noussair Mazraoui and Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta this summer. All three players' deals with their respective clubs will expire at the end of the season as it appears they have no interest in extending their contracts.
Fabrizio revealed that Barcelona have a €6.5 million net salary per season offer for Kessie and a €5 million plus add-ons-included offer for Mazraoui on the table. Barca expect Kessie and Mazraoui to accept these offers in the coming weeks.
Barcelona secure an impressive win over Osasuna in La Liga
Barcelona played some delightful football when they faced Osasuna in a recent La Liga fixture. The Catalans thrashed Osasuna 4-0 and ended up moving into third place in the points table.
Xavi's men clearly dominated the entire game and the 4-0 scoreline did justice to how good they were. The likes of Ferran Torres, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Ricard Puig were among the goals.
The Catalans are currently unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions. However, this record could be on the line next week when they face their arch-rivals, Real Madrid in La Liga.
Barca are currently 12 points behind Los Blancos. A win over Madrid in the El Classico would reduce the gap between the two clubs to nine points.
