Azpilicueta continues without renewing with Chelsea, with Barça and Atlético attentive

In eleven days opens the market of wintry signings and the players that finish agreement in the summer of 2022 will be free to negotiate his future with the club of his preference. It is a period in which, hardly ever, concretise 'bombazos' or traspasos very notable, but in which the teams begin to tantear, especially, to the players that will not renew his agreement further of 30 June. They are the operations 'free' that so much like to the FC Barcelona.

With this situation arrived Memphis Depay, Eric García or the 'Kun' Agüero the past summer and the Barcelona club expects to repeat the strategy in the 2022, conscious that the economic reality of the culés is 'overwhelming' and does not invite to the hope. The Barça, save to surprise, will need one or two years to go back to be a 'danger' in the market of signings, by what now only will be able to cost of the operations 'low cost' or directly free.

For 'fortune' of the culés, are many the footballers that finish agreement on 30 June and that, for the moment, do not seem to have intention to renew his stay in his respective clubs. It is the case of César Azpilicueta, the one who has not renewed his agreement with Chelsea. His future is an incógnita, although from the Stamford Bridge expect that it remain by some seasons more. The player, however, would not have it so clear.

And, in case that it take the decision to change of airs, the Barça could be one of the possible destinations of the international with Spain. From the sportive direction value his quality and his leadership. It would be one of the options of face to the window of transfers veraniega, as long as his premium of signing and wage can adapt to the -delicate- economic situation of the Barcelona entity.

The Athletic, also interested

'SPORT' Has remembered that the Barça is not the only interested in doing with the services of the player of Chelsea in case that it do not renew his agreement with Chelsea. The Athletic of Madrid carries months following closely to Azpilicueta and, in front of the 'bajón' defensive that are suffering the ones of the 'Cholo' Simeone, see him like one of the options to reinforce the team of face to the next season. Only it remains to expect to see which will be the decision of the player.

In any case, from London are 'calm' with the situation of the Spanish defender. Thomas Tuchel like this has recognised it: "I do not see any problem. The situation between Azpi, the club and I is very clear. It is our captain. Has all the possibilities to remain and turn into the legend that already is. A captain and fantastic player. If there are weeks that has played less, there are reasons to explain it. It was lesionado in the shoulder and besides the team was very strong in these positions with Chalobah, Christensen and with Reece James of side. It is like this. If somebody knows as it works is Azpi. It is calm. Everything is in his hands. I do not see signals that have to us concerns".
