Cesar Azpilicueta leaves Atletico Madrid.
"Aspilicueta will play his last match of Wanda Metropolitano," said Fabrizio Romano, a transfer market expert. "Aspilicueta will not sign an extension contract with Atletico. Aspilicueta respects Chelsea, he is not considering returning to the Premier League. He could either stay in Europe where he has a clear project or go to another continent."
Azpilicueta came to Chelsea in 2012 after playing for Osasuna and Marseille. As for right full-back Brinaslav Ivanovic, Azpilicueta was appointed as left full-back. He was loved by Chelsea fans for his dedication and has settled down at right full-back since Ivanovic left.
Under Antonio Conte, he played as a three-back left stopper. No matter how old he got or how long he played, he didn't get injured and played a role in any position. He showed leadership as a Chelsea captain and kept the balance.
He also led Chelsea to two Premier League titles, one UEFA Champions League title, two UEFA Europa League titles, one UEFA Europa League title, one English FA Cup title, one English Football League Cup title, one English Football League Cup title, and one FIFA Club World Cup title. He also enhanced his value by playing 44 matches for the Spanish team.
After 11 years of dedication for Chelsea, Azpilicueta left Stampford Bridge after his 508th official match. His destination was Atletico. Last season, he played 25 La Liga matches and six UCL matches in Spain. He only played in 13 La Liga matches this season. The duration of the match was only 787 minutes.
Azpilicueta, who lost his seat, chose to leave the team instead of renewing his contract with Atletico before the expiration of his contract. Attention is focusing on his future destination for Azpilicueta, who will say goodbye to Atletico. Although he is 35 years old, he can be used on the best stage with sufficient self-management, leadership and experience. 스포츠토토
