There are only three days left before the grand opening of the 2022 winter transfer window, but many teams are already in the starting blocks to better prepare their transfer window. Other clubs have even completed a few transfers, such as FC Barcelona, which formalized the arrival of Ferran Torres from Manchester City a few hours ago. But everyone knows it, the Catalan club must still strengthen in other sectors, especially in defense.
With a Sergiño Dest at the heart of the rumors (Ajax, Chelsea) and players placed on the undesirable list such as Samuel Umtiti or even Óscar Mingueza, the leaders have their work cut out for them not to end up dry defensively, and a list had even been drawn up for the right side. Not to mention that a lining to Jordi Alba is also sought after. And to prepare the best for next season, the Blaugranas have already found the rare pearl in defense, and we must turn to England.
Azpilicueta will land this summer
As reported by several Spanish media such as Sport, FC Barcelona recently reached an agreement in principle with César Azpilicueta, the captain of the Chelsea Blues! Because in this file, Barça does not need to go through the English club to negotiate because the former defender of Olympique de Marseille will be free next June, and can therefore discuss freely with other teams from January. Suddenly, the team trained by Xavi Hernandez could achieve a great operation at a lower cost.
Passed by Osasuna, OM and therefore Chelsea, the 32-year-old defender risks bringing all his experience to the Catalan rearguard from next summer. And with his incredible versatility, since he can play right piston, right side, central defender and even help out on the left side, César Azpilicueta has the perfect profile for this Barcelona team.
