The economic levers have activated in Can Barça the option of being able to sign the wishes of Xavi Hernandezamong them Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta. With the tug of war by Koundé and Lewandowski (both cases are still up in the air) and Raphinha tied up, the FC Barcelona (by the hand of Joan Laporta) is optimistic with the two new signings. Yonforms the Mundo Deportivo newspaperor that Barça would pay only about 20 million euros for both Chelsea FC defenders, and that they would not be willing to offer more than that amount, since their contract ends in 2023.
Both players have already agreed an agreement with FC Barcelona for next season, but they are waiting for talks with the new owners of the club so that everything can follow its course. Although the wish of the footballers is to leave London for Barcelona, Chelsea finds it necessary to retain César Azpilicueta, central defender and captain of the blue team, after the departures of Rüdiger and Christensen.
Chelsea CF does not want to give away to anyone
From Stamford Bridge they are clear about one thing: not to give away their players. The London team would not be willing to accept the 20 million euros that Barça wants to pay for both players, and expects to receive around 10 million more. Those of Thomas Tuchel valued Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso at €13M each, according to the SPORT newspaper. Anyway, Roger Torelló reports that this week there will be hardly any news about both cases.
