Chelsea are pissed with Barcelona, have blocked all negotiations for Alonso and Azpilicueta

As per a fresh report from SPORT, Chelsea are angry with Barcelona and have decided to block all negotiations with the Catalans for the transfers of Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.

Barcelona and Chelsea have had multiple run-ins in the transfer market this summer, with the Catalans ending up on top more often than not.

First, the Catalans were able to lure Andreas Christensen away from Stamford Bridge on a free transfer. Then they re-signed Ousmane Dembele after Chelsea had made attempts to get their hands on the Frenchman when his contract with the Blaugrana had expired.

Barcelona also got the better of Chelsea in the race for Raphinha, despite the Blues offering a higher fee for the Brazilian winger. And they are about to repeat the trick with Jules Kounde as well, with the Sevilla defender.

Last week, it seemed like Chelsea were primed to land Kounde, but Barcelona managed to eke ahead in the transfer battle and are now on the verge of capturing the Frenchman’s signing.

It has left a bitter taste in the mouths of the Chelsea officials, who are said to be angry at Barcelona as the Catalans are not only beating them in the race for their transfer targets but at the same time, are planning to sign two of their own players.

Indeed, it is no hidden secret that Barça have their sights set on moves for Chelsea full-back duo Azpilicueta and Alonso. Both the Spanish defenders are believed to be keen on a move to Camp Nou, with personal terms already agreed.

However, the west London giants are now set to block their moves to Barça as per the report. Manager Thomas Tuchel had hinted at the same in an interview last week, as he said he did not wish to sell Azpilicueta to Barcelona.

Negotiations for the 32-year-old defender had come to a halt due to the rising tensions between the clubs. And now Chelsea have decided to block a move for Alonso as well, even though the Blaugrana were hoping to work out an agreement.

This becomes a bit of an issue for Barcelona who need to bring in a new right-back and a left-back before the transfer window slams shut.
