Cesar Azpilicueta Renews Contract With Chelsea

 

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has renewed his contract with the club in a deal that will keep him until 2024. 

The right-back will remain at the club as his role in the defense will be bolstered by newly-signed former Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, who joined the club for £34m. 

"I am a really proud captain.," said Azpilicueta. "I hope we can share many good memories together."

Meanwhile, the 32-year-old would have left the club this summer for Spain but the transfer to his club of interest, Barcelona failed to materialize. 

Azpilicueta is one of the longest serving players in Chelsea and has won all trophies including Premier League and Champions League in the sport with the club.
