Chelsea favourite ‘has no place’ in Boehly’s Blues project – Summer exit likely, ‘losing prominence’

SPORT WITNESS

Last summer, we saw Barcelona making a strong pursuit for the signing of Chelsea fullback César Azpilicueta, with the Blues fighting hard to keep him at the club.

It turns out that one year later, the Camp Nou side may find a completely different scenario lived by the 33-year-old at Stamford Bridge.

Catalan outlet Sport today features a story claiming that Azpilicueta now ‘has no place’ in Chelsea’s project following the takeover of Todd Boehly.

It’s said that the Spaniard has been ‘losing prominence’ at the club and became one of the ‘expendable’ players in the Blues’ squad.

Azpilicueta indeed only has 1410 minutes played for Chelsea this season, having missed both matches against Real Madrid, and that’s a clear message for the interested clubs.

It’s claimed that Barcelona ‘still take him into account’, especially because they want an experienced player for the right-back position next season.
