Chelsea are vying with Manchester United for the signings of Ivan Rakitic and Portuguese sensation João Félix, according to reports.
The Daily Mail report that Chelsea and United are eyeing midfielder Rakitic, whose future at Barcelona appears to be in doubt.
His contract at the Nou Camp expires in 2021 and reports in Spain say Barca are reluctant to give him a new deal and that he could leave this summer.
Spanish publication Sport say Chelsea and United have both enquired about Rakitic with a view to taking him to the Premier League for a fee of around £57m.
Meanwhile, The Sun say United are lining up a swoop for Benfica wonderkid Felix, who has also been linked with Chelsea.
Reports in Portugal recently suggested that Chelsea scouts had been watching the teenager in action ahead of a possible move.
Benfica reportedly want as much as £100m for Felix, but The Sun say United scouts like what they have seen.
A United source told the newspaper: “The club went to see Felix in action and it was all positive. He is seen as a real talent.
“He is definitely someone who is increasingly of interest. He is a clever playmaker and in a similar vein to Portugal legend Deco.
“The scouts saw him during the derby against Sporting Lisbon and he scored. There looks like there is going to be moves for him.”
