Azpilicueta: Goodbye Red and White, Hello Sky Blue?
Atlético de Madrid faces a period of important decisions regarding its squad, and one of the names that resonates strongly is that of César Azpilicueta. The veteran defender, after two seasons wearing the red and white, ends his contract, opening a question mark about his future in the club.
Despite his valuable experience and the confidence that Simeone places in him, the Atlético board could choose not to renew his contract or, failing that, offer him a lower renewal, taking into account his salary and age.
Despite his time at the Metropolitano potentially coming to an end, Azpilicueta’s future looks promising. Several clubs have shown interest in acquiring his services, with Celta de Vigo being the latest to join the bidding.
The Galician club seeks to strengthen its defense with a player of his experience, following a strategy similar to the one that led them to incorporate Marcos Alonso, who has proven to be a fundamental pillar in the team and a mentor for young talents.
The possible presence of Marcos Alonso, a personal friend of Azpilicueta, at Celta could be a determining factor in convincing the player. In addition, the ambition of Celta’s sporting project, with European aspirations, could be an incentive for the experienced defender. His tactical versatility, which allows him to perform in both a line of three and four defenders, makes him an ideal reinforcement for the team.
