Chelsea captain Azpilicueta deflects question about Barcelona interest

Cesar Azpilicueta has dismissed questions about his future amid reports Barcelona are interested in his signature.

The Chelsea skipper is set to become a free agent once his contract expires in the summer.

Barcelona are reportedly prepared to extend a three-year contract to the 32-year-old, but Chelsea are trying to keep him at Stamford Bridge.

When asked if he wants to stay at Chelsea beyond this season, Azpilicueta told reporters: "I'm not going to speak about my future.

"We are one day before the semi-final of the tournament.

"Of course, I arrived in the summer of 2012 and I didn't have kids. My kids were born in London and you know how I feel about Chelsea. But I am not going to comment on my future."
