Chelsea have made their right-back signing for the season.
The Blues have, they said reached an agreement with Barcelona for the transfer of Brazilian Juliano Belletti, 31, subject to the player agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.
It ends speculation that Daniel Alves would be signing from Sevilla.
That deal stumbled over the fee with the Spanish side wanting excess of £27m for the Brazilian.
Belletti has signed a two-year deal.
