Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed holding transfer talks with new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.

However, Laporta has denied offering Frenkie de Jong to Chelsea during the dinner meeting.

He said: "Barcelona have never offered de Jong to Chelsea.

"No no no. We had a nice dinner with Todd in Barcelona and talked about football. Todd is an extraordinary person. We don't have any problems with Chelsea.

"It just so happened that some of the players they wanted to buy, we wanted to sign too."
