Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has laughed off reports star man Eden Hazard could move to Barcelona this summer.
The Belgian has been billed as Blaugrana’s top target following the world-record sale of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain.
But, on Friday, Italian Conte was quick to dismiss any suggestions the 26-year-old would be leaving the Premier League champions.
“We are trying to buy the players, not to sell,” the blues manager said ahead of Chelsea’s Community Shield clash with Arsenal on Sunday.
“Otherwise the number is always less and we are in trouble. I think these are rumours and Eden is very happy to stay with us, to play with Chelsea and to recover from his injury and to start the season with us.”
