Recent reports suggest that Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta is contemplating terminating his own contract in order to secure a transfer away from the club during the summer.

It appears that Azpilicueta’s remarkable decade-long tenure at the club is coming to an end. Throughout his time at Chelsea, he has unquestionably established himself as a legendary figure. However, his performances over the past year have deviated from the standards that endeared him to the supporters.
There was a possibility that his time at Stamford Bridge could have concluded a year ago when he seemed destined for a return to his homeland and a move to Barcelona. However, with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen already departing on free transfers, the club couldn’t afford to lose another defensive leader.
Now, it seems Azpilicueta may have the opportunity to leave this season by terminating his contract with the club. Inter Milan is reportedly keen on adding the experienced defender to their squad. Negotiations between the two clubs are expected to be a focal point of Chelsea’s transfer window.
These discussions are likely to revolve around the future of Romelu Lukaku, who is currently back at Stamford Bridge following his loan spell. Chelsea is not seeking another loan deal for the Belgian striker, which presents challenges for the financially constrained Serie A side.
In addition, there is also lingering interest from Saudi Arabia, which the Italians must contend with. If Chelsea decides to sell to a Saudi Arabian club, there could be financial benefits involved.
The coming weeks will shed more light on Azpilicueta’s future as negotiations unfold and clubs seek agreements that align with their respective interests.
