Coach Xavi will not give up on Chelsea captain Azpilicueta even after Thomas Tuchel fails to release the player. The defender is still in Barcelona’s sights, and Kondué’s arrival in England could be one more reason.
According to the newspaper AT, Azpilicueta is aware that the signing of the Sevilla defender could thwart his performance at Chelsea. This argument created a climate of uncertainty in the player.
The defender is with Chelsea in the United States for the pre-season. The English club’s coach, Thomas Tuchel, has already said that he will not release the athlete and questioned whether Barcelona would really give him what he deserves.
“I’m not sure I want to give Azpi what he wants. At some point, it’s about what we want. I’m not sure if Barcelona will give him everything he deserves (financially). So I’m not sure I want to give him what he wants because he’s a great player.”
“I understand his situation personally and professionally. But I’m not in this role just to give him what he wants. I am a Chelsea manager who wants to do what is best for the club. It’s difficult for him because the other club is permanently on top. It bothers me a little. On the first of September, when things calm down, he will be able to play at his highest level,” he declared.
