Azpilicueta Honored Interest Barca
London - Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta admitted flattered to hear news of interest in Barcelona to him. However, Azpilicueta is not thinking of changing clubs.
Azpilicueta is one of Chelsea's most consistent performers this season. The Spanish international defender has always played full-length in 38 Premier League games this season and has played a part in delivering the Blues to champions.
Barca reportedly made Azpilicueta as one of the target in the transfer market this summer. They need a right-back who is completely dependable after this season playing Sergi Roberto - who is in the original position of the midfielder - in that position.
"I am flattered that a club like Barcelona could be interested," Azpilicueta told Marca.
"Last year, after a bad season at the collective level, we have no such rumors, but this season we are champions and these stories indicate that we are doing well," he added.
Azpilicueta joined Chelsea in 2012 ago after imported from Marseille. In December, he signed a contract extension with Chelsea until 2020.
"The interest of the teams at this level is very positive, but I am very happy here, I feel very appreciated by the club and I do not think of anything else," said Azpilicueta.
