Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta wants to leave.

The Italian journalist has claimed that Cesar Azpilicueta wants to part company with Chelsea in the summer transfer window and is keen on a move to Serie A club Inter Milan.

Inter, who reached the final of the UEFA Champions League last season, are reportedly working on a deal to secure the services of the £180,000-a-week (Spotrac) 33-year-old Spain international.

Azpilicueta signed a new two-year contract with Chelsea in August 2022.

Summer exit likely

In our opinion, Cesar Azpilicueta is now likely to leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

That the 33-year-old is in talks with Chelsea over an exit suggests that there is a willingness on the part of the Blues to offload the defender this summer.

And Inter seem keen on signing Azpilicueta.

The Spaniard has been superb for Chelsea over the years and will part the Blues as a club legend.

Since joining Chelsea back in 2012, Azpilicueta has won the Premier League title twice, the FA Cup once, the UEFA Champions League on one occasion, and the UEFA Europa League twice.

Azpilicueta is 33 now and has been superb for Chelsea over the years, and we believe that the London club should grant his wish and let him leave this summer.
