Arsenal legend Cesc Fabregas has claimed that a certain Chelsea star's potential move to FC Barcelona is "almost done".
It appears that Blaugrana manager Xavi Hernandez is wasting no time as he overhauls the squad he inherited from Ronald Koeman.
The Catalan giants bolstered their team in the January transfer window with the signings of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Adama Traore, Dani Alves and Ferran Torres, and more new faces are expected at the end of the campaign.
Earlier this season, Spain-based journalist Gerard Romero reported that the LaLiga side has an agreement in place for Cesar Azpilicueta to join them next season as a free agent.

Former Gunners and Chelsea midfielder Fabregas recently added fuel to that fire when revealing what he had heard about the potential move.
"Azpilicueta to Barca, they're saying it's almost done," he said on Romero's Twitch channel.
The 32-year-old's current deal with the Blues is set to expire at the end of this season, and talk of him renewing his contract in London has gone quiet in recent months.

Azpilicueta's possible arrival at the Camp Nou may impact Sergino Dest's future at the club, with reports having suggested that Barca were open to offers for the USA international in the most recent transfer window.
The Spanish fullback's departure from Chelsea could be the least of Thomas Tuchel's problems, however, with ESPN reporting that Xavi has also sounded out moves for two other Chelsea defenders in Andreas Christensen and Marcos Alonso.
