Formed in Osasuna, the 33-year-old right-back from Navarre decided to try a new experience and change, this time, the team.

Azpilicueta, who turns 34 in August, will travel to Milan in the coming days to undergo a medical check-up. This is an operation unrelated to Romelu Lukaku’s operation (Inter wants to continue having the Belgian striker, who played last season on loan from Chelsea).

With the Chelseathe ‘blue’ captain has achieved it all: a Champions League, 2 Premiers, an FA Cup, 2 Europa Leagues, a European Super Cup and a Club World Cup.
