Planes has been out of work since leaving Camp Nou at the end of 2021

Former Barcelona sporting director Ramon Planes has several offers on the table after leaving Camp Nou at the end of last year.

Nearly all of the offers are from abroad and there are top-level clubs keen to tap into his expertise after he brought Ronald Araujo, Pedri and Abde to Barça and bet on Ilaix, Gavi and Nico in the first team.

One of the latest clubs to sound out a move is Chelsea. The English club's owner Roman Abramovich constantly wants to improve the project at Stamford Bridge and is weighing up bringing in Planes.

Another Premier League club has also held talks with Planes and Valencia are desperate to recruit him in Spain.

In March, Planes is expected to make a decision as he returns to football after a few months off following his departure from Barcelona.
