Barcelona have a genuine interest in landing Chelsea forward Joao Pedro during the upcoming transfer window.
The Blues had a dismal Premier League campaign, and they finished 10th in the standings after a final-day defeat at Sunderland.
Hence, the club won't be playing any European football next term, which is a huge blow to their prospects of signing key players.
There could also be high-profile departures and reports claim that Barcelona are among the main contenders to sign Pedro.
The Blues have repeatedly highlighted that Pedro won't be sold, but the situation could change given the lack of European football.
Chelsea are prepared to back manager Xabi Alonso with funds, but may want a couple of big-money sales to recoup some of the fee spent.
Pedro is a possible candidate who could depart. It will cost at least £80m for Barcelona or any other club to prise him away this summer.
Pedro won't push for an exit against Chelsea's wishes.
