Barcelona are closing in on a deal for Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta, it has been reported.
Azpilicueta has been the subject of much speculation this summer, with it having been reported that the Spain international wishes to return to his native country.
Barcelona have remained in the picture for his signature throughout the summer and, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, are wanting to speed up negotiations over his transfer.
The full-back is said to be awaiting Chelsea's approval over a two-year deal that would keep him at the Catalan club until 2024.
