Chelsea star Cesar Azpilicueta has explained why he chose to snub a transfer to Barcelona in the summer. The Blues captain was linked with a switch to the Camp Nou after spending 10 years at Stamford Bridge.
Azpilicueta is currently with the Spain squad who are aiming to book their place in the World Cup quarter-finals when they take on Morocco on Tuesday afternoon. The Spanish defender was close to a return to Spain in the summer as Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez targeted a move for Azpilicueta.
The Catalan giants beat Chelsea to the signings of Raphinha and Jules Kounde in the summer transfer window. Marcos Alonso completed a switch to Barca late in the transfer window, but Azpilicueta opted against following the defender to Spain.
