Chelsea are expected to be very busy in the summer transfer window, with manager Thomas Tuchel attempting to mould the squad into one that will fully represent his identity.
The Blues will most definitely be in the market for a central midfielder, along with strengthening the backline, since currently many first-team players within the squad have uncertain futures.
Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta are all out of contract this summer, with the latter recently linked with a move back to Spain.
According to recent reports, Azpilicueta is seriously considering the prospect of returning to his homeland and Barcelona are said to be interested in acquiring his services, as manager Xavi believes that the experience he possesses will add great value to the Catalan gaints' rebuild.
Previous reports indicated that Barcelona had already made contact with the Veteran and an agreement is in place, which could be the reason why former Blues and Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas recently hinted that a move is “almost done” when speaking to Spanish journalist Gerard Romero on his Twitch show Jijantes.
Azpilucueta will soon be approaching ten years at Chelsea and it's safe to say that the 32-year-old will go down as a club legend.
Since arriving from Marseille back in 2012 for a fee believed to be in the region of £6.5 million, the Spanish international has won every possible honour, with last weeks triumph in Abu Dhabi completing the collection.
In total, Azpilicueta's CV contains two Premier League titles, two UEFA Europa League's, a UEFA Champions League, an FA Cup, a League Cup and a FIFA Club World Cup.
For these reasons, Azpilicueta will only be leaving positive memories for Chelsea fans if his time in west London does come to an end.
