In order to increase the strength of the defense, the Madrid team wants to bring in a classy defender. El Gol Digital reported that Atletico Madrid wants to buy Cesar Azpilicueta from Chelsea in the summer transfer window of 2021.
The Spanish team highly appreciated the experience and class of the star born in 1989, they agreed to spend 50 million Euros to convince Chelsea to sell their star.
In recent seasons, the 31-year-old has maintained a stable and versatile performance when he can play on both wings and in central defense. The Spanish defender also plays a spiritual leader for Chelsea players. If Azpilicueta is successfully recruited, Atletico's squad quality will be significantly improved.
