According to TYC Sports, Chelsea are in talks with Barco, 21, although a deal is yet to be agreed with Strasbourg or the player.
The left-back turned defensive midfielder has been a key player for the Ligue 1 outfit this season, scoring two goals and providing nine assists in 37 games.
With negotiations not likely to be an issue, Chelsea now look set to beat Bayern Munich to Barco’s signature.
