Cesar Azpilicueta Heads to Barcelona
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Reportedly Barcelona will bring Cesar Azpilicueta, Chelsea defender. Then they also have a personal agreement.
Barcelona want to add strength to the right-back sector. Moreover, Barca lost Dani Alves whose contract was not renewed.
Barca glanced at a number of players who could potentially fill in the role. The choice fell to Cesar Azpilicueta. His experience, ability and knowledge of Spanish football has put Azpilicueta ahead of the other candidates.
According to reports, Barcelona have started negotiations with the player. Barca have offered 11 million pounds per season before taxes. The proposal led Azpiilicueta to give the green light.
Thus, Cesar Azpilicueta will receive a significant salary increase if he joins Barcelona this summer. To speed up his move, the captain will meet with Thomas Tuchel and Todd Boehly.
Chelsea have reportedly set a price of 7 million pounds for Cesar Azpilicueta. The Blues want to get back the money that was disbursed when they brought the defender from Olympique Marseille in 2012.
Barcelona is rumored to be asking Chelsea to provide a discount. Barca are aware that they have the upper hand due to the player’s desire to move and the duration of the contract which remains one season.
Thomas Tuchel reportedly has doubts about the option to sell Cesar Azpilicueta as the Blues lost two other defenders, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. However, the arrival of Nathan Ake from Manchester City could open the door.
