Bayern Munich have shown great interest in signing Chelsea defender César Azpilicueta in the next transfer window.
The Bavarian giants are looking for a new defender after the departure of Niklas Sule. The German defender has turned down a new contract at Bayern and has instead decided to move to rival Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
According to the Spanish media Sports world (via Bayern strikes), Julian Nagelsmann’s side are now looking to replace Sule with Chelsea defender Azpilicueta. The Spaniard also entered the final six months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and has yet to sign an extension with the club.
Azpilicueta is one of the most versatile defenders in the Barça squad. The 32-year-old defender is capable of playing as a full-back on any side. He has also been used as a center back in a triple under the direction of Thomas Tuchel.
