The signing of Azpilicueta is more difficult today

While the signing of Andreas Christensen for him FC Barcelona going from strength to strength in the absence of a final agreement, that of César Azpilicueta It is not so clear today. Within the London club, in the process of being sold by the Russian tycoon Roman Abramovichthere is some discomfort with the Barça with open negotiations with both the Danish and the Navarrese. In the case of the latter, 32 years old and captain of the ‘blues’, the current champion of Europe He has the power to extend his contract from 2022 to 2023 unilaterally after having played a certain number of games. That is why the Barça he is aware that he cannot take himself free to ‘Sub‘ as it will do with Christensenwhich forces him to negotiate with the Chelsea to reach an agreement for the transfer. It would not be a very high figure since he would only have one more year left.

In this sense, his own Azpilicueta He has not wanted to tighten the rope with the club either. Stamford Bridgewhere he has been a member since the summer of 2012, when he arrived from Marseille Olympic, which received 8.8 million euros. The Spanish international has always wanted to go head-to-head with the Chelsea Presenting your options for the future. Continuing in the English capital is not an option that the Navarrese defender dislikes, although he is tempted by the possibility of returning to LaLiga and more in a Barça where Xavi Hernandez he has a lot of confidence in him Luis Enrique in the Spanish team. The set of Thomas Tuchel has only been able to renew Thiago Silva of the starting defenders who had a contract until 2023. Christensen will end in Barça, Antonio Rudiger is not for the work of following and Azpilicueta He is the only one who maintains a good relationship with his club. Hence in the Camp Nou want to wait until later, given the current context, so that a negotiation could be successful.
