As announced a few weeks ago, the right-back of Olympique de Marseille, Cesar Azpilicueta has been strongly linked with a move to English Premier League side Chelsea FC. Reports now claim that the London side is set to make Marseille an offer they
might find tempting
“Right now, I do not plan to return to Spain,” said http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 following some strong performances
for Les Phoceens in recent games.
However, it seems that the youngster is also getting attractive glances from the other side of the English Channel. English Premier League giants Chelsea FC have been monitoring the young Spaniard’s progress for quite some time and manager Andre Vilas Boas
is keen on signing the youngster.
However, it seems that Azpilicueta is enjoying his time at Marseille. While talking to the media, the 23-year-old said, “I have grown collectively and individually. I joined a team that has the obligation to win every game. It’s something I did not now.”
Rumours suggest that the Portuguese tactician does not see the likes of Jose Bosingwa and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-Ferreira-c29445 in his plans for the future. English daily, Daily Mirror claims that Chelsea are now weighing up an offer of 14.5 million Euros for the young right-back
in a bid to bring the player to Stamford Bridge.
The amount is roughly twice the amount that Marseille paid La Liga side Osasuna in the summer of 2010 to sign Azpilicueta and would certainly be a tempting offer for the Rhone giants.
On Wednesday, Marseille coach Didier Deschamps said that the club is not looking to sell any player this winter. However, the club’s coffers are becoming increasingly hollow and president Vincent Labrune might consider evaluating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s offer.
Moreover, Marseille are keen on signing two offensive players in the current winter transfer window. Andre Ayew and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ghana-c2905 in the African Cup of Nations and replacements for the two youngsters are a priority
this January.
