EPL Star 'Agrees Barca Move'
30 December, 2021
A high-profile Premier League player has reportedly agreed a deal in principle with Spanish giants Barcelona.
According to journalist Gerard Romero, Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta is set to join the Blaugrana at the end of the season as a free agent.
The veteran right-back is said to have given his word to Barcelona, with his contract with the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League winners expiring in June 2022.
Spanish publications Mundo Deportivo and Sport have also reported on the interest from the Catalan club, with The Athletic claiming that the 32-year-old is attracted to Barca's rebuilding project.
The Spain international joined the Blues in 2012 after spending two years at Marseille, and has amassed an impressive 449 appearances for the Premier League giants to date.
Azpilicueta, who has also contributed to 70 Chelsea goals from defence, has won nine trophies since his arrival in England, including two league titles.
