Azpilicueta, 32, is one of London’s longest-serving players.
Having arrived at Stamford Bridge from Marseille a decade ago, the Spaniard has established himself as one of the Premier League’s greatest defenders of all time.
The Azpilicueta is incredibly versatile and reliable, and even at 32, he would still be a great addition to any major European club.

Interestingly, Kinsella continues to report that new defensive signing Kalidou Koulibaly could end up providing emergency cover on the left side of the centre-back partnership.
Not all news is bad about the blues. Sevilla defender and long-time transfer target Jules Conde looks set to become the club’s third signing of the summer.
I might read this as a concern about reaching CB goals beyond Conde in the near future. We’re getting close to JK but Kimpembe has been tougher and it would be difficult to sign Gvardiol.
