Chelsea's Cesar Azpilicueta 'clause' that reduces chance of Barcelona summer transfer swoop

Chelsea have a 'unilateral clause' that reduces the chance of Barcelona being able to pull off a swoop for Cesar Azpilicueta amid constant transfer talk ahead of the summer, according to reports.

Azpilicueta, 32, will have spent 10 years at Stamford Bridge by the end of his contract, after joining the club from Marseille in 2012. The Spaniard has gone on to become the club captain, winning a total of eight trophies in his time wearing a blue shirt.

He's currently trying to make it nine as himself and his teammates compete against Brazilian side Palmeiras for the Club World Cup - the only trophy he hasn't won to date in his long Blues tenure.
