Inter Milan are keen on Cesar Azpilicueta, who wants to try a new challenge in his career as he could end his long stat at the London club.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Inter Milan are keen to sign Chelsea outcast Cesar Azpilicueta.
The Spaniard may have no place in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans.
The Blues are keen to extract the last bit of value left in the 33-year-old versatile defender.
On one look, some suggest Cesar Azpilicueta was a forgotten man at Chelsea, but a little digging will show the defender played 32 times.
However, the 33-year-old versatile defender is now keen to take on a new challenge in his career and quit Chelsea in the summer.
After the controversy surrounding his protracted transfer to Barcelona, Azpilicueta stayed at Chelsea at Thomas Tuchel’s bequest.
He also signed a new deal until 2024, allowing the Blues to extract some fees if the 33-year-old versatile defender decides to leave.
The next best admiration possibly comes from Italy, with Inter Milan the club keen to sign him.
Azpilicueta, if he stays at Chelsea and sees out the last year of his contract, may have a depleted role.
He and James may have the right side of the defence covered, leaving no room for the 33-year-old.
Hence, the two clubs could explore the idea of Azpilicueta, as Inter will be keen to sign him on a free.
If he leaves, the Spaniard could add to the list of many other outgoings, with a chunk of the deadwood leaving for the riches of Saudi Arabia.
