The Catalan club need to reduce their wage bill to make room for the two signings they have already made: the Danish defender and Franck Kessie. Both arrive on a free transfer as their contract expires on June 30.

Talks with Chelsea
Barcelona are in talks with the London outfit because they also have aspirations to bring in both Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta.
