In the last hours have increased the rumours on the possible agreement between Chelsea and FC Barcelona for the traspaso of César Azpilicueta by a near figure to the five million fixed euros more variable (still unknown). The central navarro is prepared to give the jump to the Spotify Camp Nou from the next season, but there is a problem that could be key: Thomas Tuchel does not want to yield.

The trainer of Chelsea has left clear, in statements in the middle of the pre-season of the 'blues', that is not had to facilitate the exit of the captain of the team so easily. In fact, it aimed that it is not safe that 'Azpi' go to abandon the team this summer and that he would prefer that it remained . The German took advantage of to command him to the Barça a 'dart' in the middle of the negotiations.

"I am not very safe of if I want to give to Azpi what he wants to. This also goes on what want to we, what wants the team", said Tuchel, adding that "only I have to do the comparison between what a lot of that has cost us bring to Koulibaly, that is also international and more or less of the same age".

Of the central that finish to land to the English group stood out that "it was a very important player for the Naples, but we have to an international Spanish that is captain here", before 'load' against the Barça: " I see Them to the same level, but the Barcelona no, so I am not sure if I want to give him what want to, because it is a big player. My work is not only give him to him what want to, but look for what is better for Chelsea", sentenced.

The exentrenador of the Paris Sainr-Germain, to close the subject of Azpilicueta, aimed that "it does not like him, but understands it. It is difficult for him, because the another club is permanently with him", signalling that it bothers him "perhaps a bit" the attitude of the Barcelona in the middle of the negotiations. Tuchel, in any case, will not leave to escape to the central navarro if it depends on he.

No 'wet' with Koundé

On the other hand, the trainer of Chelsea was questioned on the operation of Jules Koundé, the one who would be near to turn into the new player of the group londinense in return of 55 million pounds sterling by the next five seasons. Thomas Tuchel denied to speak of the subject and 'laughed' after being asked after if the central French refused to the Barça: "This is what say... But I will not comment on other players", adding that "without news by the moment. I will say you if some time there will be news on Koundé".
