The fate of César Azpilicueta depends on the signing of Jules Koundé, since after the latest market movements, everything seems to indicate that Barça is close to closing the hiring of the French central defender from Sevilla, while Chelsea would be considering transferring their defender and captain to another club and the best positioned is Atlético from Madrid.
Of course, you have to analyze the entire series of movements that have to take place in the market so that the players end up finding the best destination. In the case of Azpilicueta, his departure to FC Barcelona was practically assured, the only thing missing was closing some economic fringes for the 32-year-old center-back to change Stamford Bridge for the Camp Nou, however, everything changed with the interest of the Catalan team for Jules Koundé , Sevilla defender and for whom Chelsea has already made a formal offer.
Now the fight is between the Catalans and the Londoners, since both clubs intend to take over the 23-year-old French central defender, from the English team they transferred an offer of 60 million euros that was well received by Sevilla to let the defender go, but this payment would be made in installments, while from Can Barça they matched the offer of the blues, however, with the recent activation of the second lever, the Catalan team would stop the transfer in cash.
This offer from the Camp Nou offices is more attractive for the Seville team, as well as for Koundé, who stated that he would like to join FC Barcelona and put himself under the orders of coach Xavi Hernández, who is looking for a defender with the characteristics of the French.
For this reason, if Barça ends up winning the game against Chelsea with the signing of the central defender of the Sevillian team, then from the London club they would be willing to look for a new buyer for Azpilicueta and that is where Atlético de Madrid comes into the scene, since As will be remembered, the mattress team has also been interested in the signing of the Navarrese footballer, but he left the operation after learning of the interest of the Catalans.
We will have to wait for the movements in the next few hours, to find out if Azpilicueta will finally play for Barça or if it will be Jules Koundé, but the truth of the matter is that the dispute will continue from the offices of Chelsea and the culé team. @worldwide
