Branislav Ivanovic- Chelsea
Ivanovic is another Chelsea defender that Barcelona have been heavily linked with. The defender has been at Chelsea since 2008 and has been an important part of many Chelsea teams. The defender was recently a Chelsea hero, scoring the winning goal in the Europa League final against Benfica. He is seen as a strong and combative defender and would form an interesting partnership with current Barcelona central defender Gerard Pique. Whether Chelsea will want to let Ivanovic go is another matter.
Chelsea may want to keep hold of Ivanovic as he is exactly the type of centre back that Jose Mourinho likes but if Barcelona offer Chelsea big money they may decide to sell the former Lokomotiv Moscow defender. Reports have suggested that Barcelona may bid £40 million for a double transfer of Ivanovic and David Luiz. This may appeal to Mourinho, who could then use that money in order to fund his purchases in the summer. Having said that, the Portuguese coach in unlikely to let both Luiz and Ivanovic leave, with Luiz the more likely to be shown the door at Stamford Bridge.
