Chelsea tipped to conclude a player-plus-cash deal with Barcelona this summer

Chelsea could well do something that is often quite rare in football these days, a player-plus-cash swap deal.

This summer, Chelsea will be looking to improve a number of areas on the pitch, and there could be further unprecedented departures that will also need replacing.

A deep look at the big summer ahead at Chelsea FC including outgoing and arrivals!

It is no secret now that both Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso are tempted by a move to Barcelona this summer, and they could join Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger in heading to La Liga very soon.

This will mean Chelsea will need to replace four senior defenders in the next few months.

As we know, Barcelona are in financial difficulties right now and they really need to sell players before they can buy. This could open up to some sort of deal involving their own Sergino Dest heading to Stamford Bridge this summer, with one of, or both of Azpilicueta and Alonso moving the other way, according to The Daily Mail.
