Chelsea are likely to offload a number of players in the upcoming January transfer window, and one of them could be of interest to Barcelona.
Sources with a good understanding of the situation have reported Caught offside that the blues do not adjust to the future of Christopher Nkunku there are doubts, and that Barcelona could consider a loan move for him if they do not register Dani Olmo.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has not found much space for Nkunku so far this season, so it might make sense for the France international to consider a temporary move away from Stamford Bridge.

Caught offside it was discussed previously Nkunku is looking to push for a move away from Chelsea this January, with Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain emerging as possible destinations.
Barca, however, could also be in the conversation amid concerns over Olmo’s record, while Nkunku isn’t the only player who could leave Chelsea this winter either.
Will Chelsea part ways with the trio this January?
Caught offside understands CFC will also invite bids for Carney Chukwuemeka and Ben Chilwell in the coming weeks.
Chukwuemeka has long been admired by AC Milan, but one of the issues at the moment is the Blues’ £30million asking price for the English youngster.
While Chelsea could let Chukwuemeka opt for an initial loan, it is believed they would then expect an obligation to buy for around £30m, so it remains to be seen which side will move on this.
Chilwell’s future has also long been in doubt, with Juventus monitoring his situation.
Manchester United have also previously been linked with Chilwellso one imagines there will be a decent amount of suitors for a proven player of his caliber.
