Chelsea star comments on Barcelona rumors

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has refused to confirm talks with Barcelona, amid rumors of a possible move in the summer.

Azpilicueta’s contract at Stamford Bridge is up at the end of the season, but reports suggest there is a clause to extend the deal by another year. The player is yet to decide his future, but clubs have circled in to sign him in the summer.

Barcelona are said to be leading the chase and are keen on bringing him to Camp Nou. However, the Spaniard has refused to comment on the rumors and suggested that it is not the right time to decide.

During a press conference with the Spanish national team today, Azpilicueta said:

“My future? I think this is neither the place nor the time [to discuss that]. If we have learned anything from the pandemic and things at Chelsea is that you have to live day to day.”

Barcelona have reportedly agreed a pre-contract with Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen, who also has his deal up at the end of the season.
