Chelsea and Liverpool both look set to miss out on the signature of Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
The Frenchman in recent months has become increasingly unsettled at Paris Saint-Germain.
With several high-profile European clubs vying for the 23-year-old, many fans had been keenly waiting to see where Rabiot would end up.
Unfortunately for Chelsea fans, it seems as though the box-to-box presence is heading for La Liga to join Barcelona, according to a report in Mundo Deportivo.
Rabiot’s PSG contract is set to run out at the conclusion of the current season and despite the club having offered the Saint-Maurice native a new deal, it is thought that he is seeking pastures anew.
It is understood that former Barcelona defender Eric Abidal travelled to Paris to conduct negotiations with the French international, who has made a soft agreement to make the move to the Nou Camp.
Rabiot will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement on New Year’s Day, although it seems increasingly likely that will not be one to bring him to the Premier League.
