There’s no doubt that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will be sick of the sight and mention of Spanish football.
Even before his side were humbled by Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final by a 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea manager was well aware of their La Liga rivals Barcelona.
Trending
Over the course of the past six months, Tuchel and countless Chelsea fans have had to put up with countless reports linking the club’s defensive duo, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, with a move to the Camp Nou this summer.
Both defenders are out of contract at the end of the season and therefore reports in Spain believe a move to the Catalan giants may be imminent.
Of course, the same Spanish papers claimed that Cesar Azpilicueta would also be making a return to his homeland in the summer, before he duly signed an extension with Chelsea.
However, it seems as though Barca and the media aren’t finished with linking Chelsea stars with a move to the club.

Mount linked with Barca move
According to a new report from Foot Mercato, Barca are preparing a blockbuster summer transfer window and that could mean a move for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.
The French publication claims that Xavi is intent on improving his midfield options next season and when it comes to Barca’s shortlist of midfielders ahead of the summer window, Mount currently sits top.
The England international currently has a contract at the club until the summer of 2024, so it remains to be seen whether Barca could afford to entice the star away from the London club or may have to rely on the possibility of Chelsea selling players to pay the bills under their new owners.
