The January transfer window shuts on Thursday meaning clubs have less than two days to wrap up any last minute deals.Chelsea have already signed Christian Pulisic and Gonzalo Higuain has arrived on loan, but Maurizio Sarri is keen to add a couple more players to his squad as they push for a Champions League spot and hope to secure a domestic cup.
6Blues may move for Croatia midfielder
Ivan Rakitic has been a key player for Barcelona in recent seasons, but it appears his time at the club could be about to come to an end.According to Barcelona-based publication Sport, which has the midfielder on the front cover, Sarri’s side are planning a summer swoop for the 30-year-old and consider him the ideal replacement for the recently departed Cesc Fabregas, who left to join Monaco.However, despite the65million acquisition Frenkie de Jong from Ajax, Rakitic is keen to remain with Barcelona.“If I am here [at Barcelona], it’s to play,” he said.“If anything has to change, we will speak. I have a lot of confidence. I know what I can give. I know who I am.“I want to be here and, if I can renew, to be here for even more years. I am really happy here, everyone knows it, above all the president. I have nothing else to say.“I am 30 and I am in the best moment of my career. I want to enjoy football and enjoy Barca.”Raktic has won three La Liga titles and one Champions League since his move to the Nou Camp in 2014.

6Chelsea join race to sign rival midfielder
The Blues are preparing for a summer battle with Manchester United to sign Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen.According to the Express, Real Madrid have given up on their pursuit of the Danish international, paving the way for the two Premier League sides to fight for his signature. His contract runs out in June 2020 and he is on 75,000 a-week, significantly less than Harry Kane and Dele Alli.It is also reported he is settled in London and this would give Chelsea the edge, should a move go ahead.

Chelsea have been linked with a move forright-back Elseid Hysaj and are looking for competition for captain and mainstay Cesar Azpilicueta, according to the Hard Tackle. They have loaned Victor Moses out to Fenerbahce and are open to letting out-of-favour Davide Zappacosta leave, meaning they are relatively light in that particular area.
