In light of the poor first half of the season, the club from the Catalan capital is looking for an opportunity to strengthen the most demanding positions. Among them is the right side of the defense, which has been a problem for Barca for a long time, and it does not meet the expectations placed in it.
Azpilicueta close to transfer to Barca
It is possible that the 21-year-old will soon leave. Dest has been targeted by, among others, Bayern Munich, which sees the potential in the American. Initially, it was speculated that his place in the Catalan capital could be taken by Noussair Mazraoui of Ajax Amsterdam.
According to information provided by journalist Gerard Romero, another player may replace Desta at Camp Nou. The club is interested in the Chelsea captain, who has performed at the Stamford Bridge continuously since 2012.
Barca may benefit from Azpilicueta’s expiring contract
A great facilitation in the potential transfer of the 32-year-old is the fact that his contract with the end of the current season expires. It is true that the British media in recent weeks reported that the Spanish right-back will soon sign the new agreement, but Romero says a bit differently.
According to his information, Azpilicueta has already agreed all the details of the individual with FC Barcelona, and only the details are missing to confirm the transfer. There are more and more indications that the 32-year-old will return to his homeland after more than 11 years.
FC Barcelona confirmed the first winter transfer on Tuesday. For the amount of EUR 55 million, she brought in from Manchester City.
