Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta is reportedly struggling to make up his mind over his future, with Barcelona pushing to sign the defender on a free transfer this summer.
Azpilicueta's contract at Stamford Bridge is due to expire at the end of June, and Barcelona have allegedly placed a two-year deal on the table to move to Camp Nou.
Chelsea are believed to have the option to extend his contract by a further 12 months, but the London club's off-the-field matters have complicated the situation.
According to The Express, Azpilicueta is torn between his loyalty to Chelsea and the chance to return to Spain to represent Barcelona.
The 32-year-old refused to entertain suggestions that he could leave his current club when asked about his situation during a recent Spain press conference.
The full-back has again been a vital player for the Blues during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring twice and providing three assists in 35 appearances in all competitions. body check tags ::
