La Liga giant, Barcelona are planning another Chelsea raid after capturing Marcus Alonso in the deal which saw Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang move to the other side.
This is as they seek to replace Sergio Busquets with another Chelsea star, Jorginho.
According to the UK Mirror, the Spanish outfit want to land the Italian midfielder from Chelsea next summer, when he becomes a free agent.
The 30-year-old midfielder has only 10 months to run on his current contract at Stamford Bridge.

And, unless Jorginho agrees to a new deal with the West London club, he will be free to talk to clubs overseas from January 2023.
Barcelona are looking at potential replacements for Busquets, who turns 35 next summer and will also be out of contract then.
The Spanish international who spent his entire professional career in Barcelona has so far appeared for the club a total of 455 times and scored 20 goals in the process.
However, Jorginho is seen by Nou Camp bigwigs as someone who ticks all the boxes to fill the void Busquets will leave after his illustrious career in Spain.
Jorginho joined Chelsea from Napoli for £57million in 2018.
