According to The Athletic, the rest of Chelsea's squad is concerned that team captain Cesar Azpilicueta will join Barcelona on a free transfer at the end of the season.
According to the report, Barcelona is offering the 32-year-old a three-year contract to entice him to leave the Nou Camp this summer.
Chelsea reportedly have a one-year extension option on Azpilicueta's contract, which expires at the end of the season, but The Athletic claims it is unclear whether they can activate the clause under the current restrictions.
The Blues had also held talks with the Spain international at various points this season, but were unwilling to offer him such a long-term contract.
Azpilicueta is said to keep his future plans private, but there is speculation among his teammates that this will be his final season at Chelsea.
It's an understandably difficult decision for the former Marseille star.
Barcelona is said to be offering him a longer contract and the chance to play in his home country, which may increase his chances of making the Spain squad for the next World Cup.
On the other hand, he has been at Chelsea for nearly a decade, and his family, including his English-born children, is said to be content in the capital.
Interestingly, the report also stated that Azpilicueta has arranged for a new house in London to be built for his family.
The one thing Barcelona may be able to offer him that Chelsea may not be able to is regular game time.
The captain has taken on a more prominent role recently, but this is largely due to the injuries to Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah.
Regardless of his final decision, Azpilicueta has cemented himself as one of the club's most successful legends.
