Barcelona are now said to be "confident" of completing a deal for Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta at the end of the season with the Spaniard set to become a free agent.
Talks between the Blues and Azpilicueta have seemingly come to a standstill, leaving the door open for Barcelona to make their move. And the belief in Spain appears to now be that a deal will be agreed in Catalonia.
The 32-year-old will have spent 10 years as a Chelsea player by the summer, winning everything there is to win in that time having added the FIFA Club World Cup to his collection last month.
