Barcelona are preparing to make a bid for Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Spanish veteran is a key target for the Catalan club this summer.

Transfer expect Fabrizio Romano reports that they have already talked terms with Azpi on a two-year contract.

The 32-year-old, however, has a year remaining on his Chelsea deal.

The Londoners are seeking a decent fee, as they look to bring in new defenders of their own.

A bid will go into Chelsea this week, as the club have already held discussions about Azpilicueta this summer.
