Barcelona reportedly want Cesar Azpilicueta to hand in a transfer request to speed up a potential move from Chelsea to the Nou Camp this summer.
Chelsea captain Azpilicueta is under contract at Stamford Bridge until next year but is thought to be keen on a return to Spain.
The 32-year-old, who has won every major European and domestic trophy during his decade at Chelsea, is believed to be reluctant to ask club chiefs to allow him to leave.
According to The Sun, Azpilicueta is coming under increasing pressure to push for a move as Barcelona are hoping to bring him to the Nou Camp in time for the start of pre-season training next month.
