Chelsea demands €25m for Barca targets Azpilicueta and Alonso
The Catalan club acquired Andreas Christensen from Chelsea on a free transfer this summer and is long interested in bringing the Spanish duo of Chelsea to Nou Camp this summer with both players pushing for a move.
According to
Sport, as the negotiations between
Chelseaowner Todd Boehly and the Barcelona hierarchy go on, Chelsea set an asking price of €25m for Marcos Alonso and
Cesar Azpilicueta. Barcelona has long been in the market for a full-back as they have only Sergiño Dest and Jordi Alba as natural full-backs
The outlet continues to reveal that Barcelona is not willing such a high fee for
Alonsoand Azpilicueta who are respectively 31 and 32 years old and only have a year remaining on their deal and have asked to leave London.
Thomas Tuchel earlier criticized
Barcelona'spursuit of the Spanish duo. However, according to
outlets, the German coach will reportedly grant the duo their wishes once their replacements are in the building. Although Alonso played regularly in the 2021-22 season in Chilwell’s absence due to injury, the player’s recovery and Emerson’s comeback will put him down on the pecking order.
Meanwhile, the Chelsea captain, Azpilicueta, who made 476 appearances for the Blues, is adamant to have a new experience as the club doesn’t want to lose their captain on a free transfer next summer. They want to get back the €8 million they paid Marseille in 2012 to sign the player.
