Free way? Chelsea have not exercised Azpilicueta's renewal clause

The offices of the FC Barcelona have worked day and night to fulfil the wishes of Xavi Hernández to reinforce the team. The managerial is conscious that the sportive project of the egarense goes by good way, and that it can begin a 'new' was inside the club. It is thus that invested in the wintry market and also in the veraniego, where already have closed two signings to 'cost zero'.

In spite of that Andreas Christensen is one of them, does not mean that the Barcelona leave of 'fish' in the waters of Chelsea. The group londinense is going through a moment complicated, where can not sell, buy neither renew players because of the sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom. All this owing to the connection of Roman Abramovich, his owner, with the Russian government of Vladimir Putin.

It is thus that the advanced of the Barça is to carry to César Azpilicueta once finish the campaign. The navarro finalises his agreement in June but has a unilateral clause that allows that the 'blues' renew him by a year more without mattering the situation. However, in spite of that the defender already has fulfilled the whole of the parties required so that this option was exerted, Chelsea continues without executing it.

The English possess an empty to be able to because they still have not been able to sell the institution. While this no suceda and Abramovich keep like owner, will keep blocked. The Barça follows very closely the situation by request express of Xavi. In January, the one of Terrassa insisted in his signing but the operation was impossible. Now, everything could turn in favour of the blaugrana.

It approaches his exit?

For the moment, 'Azpi' does not know how and with who will have to negotiate his exit. As it has informed the newspaper 'SPORT', does some months that reached a principle in accordance with Marina Granovskaia, the CEO of Chelsea, to be able to go out of the entity if it considered it timely. Nevertheless, now it will have to converse with the new owners to accept the proposal of the Barcelona. Anyway, although the ones of Stamford Bridge wish to retain him at all costs, the culés would be had to pay a traspaso. Everything remains in hands of the own defender.
