Andreas Christensen 'will complete formalities for his move to Barcelona this week' and will join when his Chelsea contract expires in the summer.
The Denmark international defender, 25, has reportedly already completed the first part of his Barcelona medical and completed his checks on Monday ahead of a free transfer.
That will only leave Christensen to sign his contract, which is expected to be a five-year deal worth around £5million-per-season.
