Barcelona have agreed to a three-year deal with Cesar Azpilicueta if he lands on a free transfer, according to a report published by SPORT.
Azpilicueta is enticed by Barça's offer, and he will strive for a move to the Catalan city after a decade with the Blues. He'll try to take advantage of Chelsea's unfavorable punishment and hope that the club would let him leave after years of service.
Chelsea has the option of unilaterally extending the Spaniard's contract, but this may not be feasible. The team is unable to extend contracts or sign new players due to a ban imposed by the UK government.
Andreas Christensen, who is expected to enter as Barcelona's first summer signing, is said to have already signed a contract with the club.
When you factor in Antonio Rudiger's contract predicament, Thomas Tuchel's defense may be hit three times.
