Cesar Azpilicueta to continue with Chelsea
Unable to register their new signings, Barcelona asked Azpilicueta to wait for a while before the club makes a move. Barcelona are on the cusp of selling a player which would help them register the new signings.
However, Azpilicueta wanted his future to be clear before the new Premier League season got underway. As a result of which, the captain has now decided to stay with Chelsea and continue until 2024.
