Barcelona turn to Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta

Barcelona are tracking Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Blues captain is off contract in June and waiting to open talks about a new deal.

Marca says Barca are keen, where new coach Xavi is a fan.

Xavi is attracted to Azpilicueta's versatility, with the 32 year-old capable of playing across the back four.

The former Athletic Bilbao defender, however, has prioritised staying with Chelsea.
