Chelsea are in contact with Barcelona for contract rebel Ilaix Moriba.
Off contract in June, talks over a new deal with Ilaix are at deadlock for Barca. The midfielder has been told he will remain in the stands unless he re-signs.
Sport says Barca need money but they will keep their stern stance on Ilaix. The club do not like the way his people have been negotiating and believe he may have a proposal for next season already.
Chelsea have always wanted him.
Ilaix, meanwhile, would prefer to stay and is grateful for Ronald Koeman's treatment but right now, he's more out than in.
