AS reports on Celta's interest in signing César Azpilicueta this summer. César Azpilicueta is on Celta's agenda this summer as a potential signing due to his ability to take good throw-ins, which is a requirement set by coach Claudio Giráldez.

César Azpilicueta's contract with Atlético de Madrid will end on June 30. He will extend his contract for a few days to participate in the Club World Cup starting on June 15 in the USA. After that, he will be a free agent, and several clubs have shown interest in signing him, with Celta de Vigo being the most prominently mentioned. However, Celta de Vigo's director of football, Marco Garcés, stated that they do not have active conversations with Azpilicueta at this moment for the next season.

César Azpilicueta, who is currently 35, is expected to end his contract with Atlético de Madrid after spending two seasons at the club. Despite his substantial salary, Atlético de Madrid is contemplating either not renewing his contract or offering him a reduced salary. Celta de Vigo has expressed interest in signing the seasoned defender as they aim to bolster their defense. The fact that Azpilicueta's friend, Marcos Alonso, is at Celta, along with the club's ambitions for European competitions, might make the team an appealing destination for Azpilicueta. His tactical versatility is seen as a good fit for Celta's defensive strategy under coach Claudio Giráldez.
