- The English club proposes to its captain to renew a season, until 2023, with another optional one, while Barça would sign him a 2+1 if he arrives for free in July
Although César Azpilicueta , a versatile 32-year-old defender, has not yet decided on his future while waiting to close his negotiation with Chelsea , which wants to renew the contract of its great captain that ends on June 30, various information that comes from England indicate that Barça is getting closer to getting their free services at the end of this season.
Chelsea would only be willing to offer him a one – year renewal, until 2023, with the option of one more season, less than what Barça would be willing to offer him , which would be a 2+1, that is, a contract until 2024 and an optional season .
The Navarrese is a player with great physical strength, very professional, and his age would not condition the sports management of the Barça club to sign him a longer contract.
The defender is in his tenth season with the London team and is the current captain of the squad. Out of respect for Chelsea , he will not take any steps until he hears his final proposal.
