Chelsea captain Azpilicueta demanding Boehly grant free transfer to Barcelona

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta will push to leave this summer, it has been revealed.

Sport says the future of Azpilicueta hangs in the balance.

The Spaniard is insisting he had a verbal agreement in place with former Blues owner Roman Abramovich that would see him leave on a free transfer this summer.

He now wants Todd Boehly to honour that agreement as well, rather than trigger an extension.

Azpilicueta wants to be cleared to join Barcelona in a free transfer, with personal terms having already been settled.
