Xavi Hernandez contacted Azpilicueta to invite him to join Barca
2022-07-29 02:33BARCELONA - Xavi Hernandez has reportedly contacted Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta to ensure that Barcelona will sign him this summer.
Quoted from Thehardtackle , Wednesday (27/6), Xavi is claimed to have informed the Chelsea captain that Barca wanted to secure his services in order to strengthen the defense.
Although that will only happen after the Catalan giants complete Jules Kounde's move. Azpilicueta has been a valuable asset for the Blues since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Marseille ten years ago.
The veteran Spain defender has become a regular due to his versatility. He can play in all positions in defense without compromising his consistency.
So far, the 32-year-old has made 474 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 17 goals and providing 56 assists.
Azpilicueta wants to leave Chelsea after entering the final year of his contract, looking to find a new adventure this summer. His favorite destination is also mentioned is Barcelona.
The Catalan giants are desperate to sign Azpilicueta after choosing not to give Dani Alves a new contract. Alves' departure leaves Barca only having Sergino Dest and Sergi Roberto at right-back.
Dest's appearance was considered unable to convince Xavi. Meanwhile, Roberto's performance has declined at an alarming level in recent years. So that Azpilicueta is considered a worthy target for Barca.
