The 32-year-old defender has been at Chelsea for a decade and is one of the most loved and respected players inside the squad.

 

But the Spaniard will be out of contract at the end of the season and for the moment, there is no agreement between the player and Chelsea over a new deal.

 

 

Azpilicueta feels settled in London and does not want to leave Chelsea, but he wants a longer contract than that which the club are offering him.

 

Barcelona are interested in signing him but it has been claimed the Catalan giants have not made a formal offer to the defender.

 

 

Xavi Hernandez is very much keen on the idea of adding experienced players to his squad, as evident from his decision to sign Dani Alves.

 

Barcelona are alive to Azpilicueta’s contract situation and are interested in snapping him up on a free transfer.

 

 

But for the moment, the defender does not have a formal offer on his table from Barcelona.

 

Chelsea are keen to keep him as well but are willing to let his situation play out until the last moment.
