Barcelona have now reportedly entered the race to sign Antonio Rudiger with offers already on the table for Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen. All three Chelsea players are out of contract in the summer and appear unlikely to sign extensions at Stamford Bridge.

Dani Alves was the first through the door and the 38-year-old proved he can still compete at the highest level with a goal and assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid.
Then Xavi moved his attention to the Premier League, completing a deal for Manchester City star Ferran Torres.
Adama Traore soon followed him through the door with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang completing his move from Arsenal in the final hours of the window.
They were unable to move on Ousmane Dembele though, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

"We did not find a solution with Ousmane, so the circumstances have now changed.
While Dembele has no future at the Nou Camp, Xavi insists the winger will still be used up until the end of the season.
He said: "We have spoken with the president [Joan Laporta] and made the decision [to reintegrate Dembele]. He has a contract, he is part of the squad and we are not going to shoot ourselves in the foot by not using him.
"I understand fans may be hurt by [the situation] but I encourage them to come and support the team and support Ousmane, if he plays. He is training well and has been a good professional.
"We have to close ranks and think what is best for the club. We think he can help us and will use him when we see convenient."
