January, Cesar Azpilicueta returns to Spain

Premier League club Chelsea could lose Cesar Azpilicueta in January 2020. The defender will return to Spain in the transfer market next winter.

Azpi is one of the main players at Chelsea in recent years. He has always been a pillar of the Blues manager in their defense.

In this season, Azpi is still a pillar of Frank Lampard. He started in the first four matches of EPL Chelsea this season.

But The Sun said Azpilicueta had the potential to switch clubs in January. It is said that he returned to Spain to play in La Liga.

What prompted Azpilicueta to leave Chelsea? Information below.

Performance is decreasing

The report said Lampard was now starting to worry about Azpi.

It is believed that the defender of the Spanish national team has experienced a significant decline in performance this season. This can be seen from Chelsea's failure to win clean sheets in the first four EPL matches.

For this reason, Lampard plans to give Reece James the opportunity to act as a defense.

Return to Spain

If that happens, Azpi will be the closing player in the Chelsea squad. Seeing the situation, two La Liga clubs are interested in bringing in a defender.

They are Athletic Biblao and Real Sociedad. Both Basque teams are interested in using Azpi services in January.

They also offer a guaranteed regular playing time to the defender so that players are called in considering this offer.

Long contract

Bilbao and Sociedad are expected to spend a lot of money to bring Azpi.

The 30-year-old defender is still registered as a contract in West London until 2022.
