Barcelona Eye Move For Christensen, Azpilicueta
It seems like the transfer window is in full swing as Chelsea’s captain, Cesar Azpilicueta, is reportedly set to join Serie A giants Inter Milan on a two-year deal. This news comes from Italian journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who has been spot on with his transfer news in the past.
The Spanish defender’s departure means that Chelsea will be losing another experienced player this summer, following the likes of N’Golo Kante, Edourd Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and Hakim Ziyech, who have already left the London club. However, it seems that Chelsea is not the only club experiencing a shake-up, as Barcelona has their sights set on two of Chelsea’s players – Andreas Christensen and Azpilicueta.
Christensen, who is a Danish center-back, has been on Barcelona’s radar for a while now, with the club reportedly impressed with his performances during the Euro 2020 tournament. Meanwhile, Azpilicueta has been a consistent performer for Chelsea, and his leadership qualities could be an asset for Barcelona, who are looking to rebuild their squad.
Barcelona is in the process of overhauling their squad after a disappointing season last year, which saw them finish third in La Liga and crash out of the Champions League in the round of 16. The Catalan giants have already made some big signings this summer, including Sergio Aguero, Memphis Depay, and Eric Garcia.
However, Barcelona’s financial situation has been a cause for concern, and they will need to sell players before they can bring in more reinforcements. It remains to be seen whether they can afford to sign both Christensen and Azpilicueta, but if they do, it would be a statement of intent from the Spanish club.
In conclusion, the transfer window is in full swing, and it seems like Barcelona is looking to make some big moves. With Christensen and Azpilicueta on their radar, it will be interesting to see whether they can pull off these signings and rebuild their squad for the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
