Cesar Azpilicueta is ready to join Inter Milan and is one step away from signing the two-year deal with the Nerazzurri. The Spanish defender is waiting for Chelsea to terminate his current contract, as the Blues are yet to let him go. Azpilicueta has agreed to personal with Inter and will join as a free agent to improve the defense. The Spanish defender will be a huge boost to Inter’s backline. They were searching for a replacement for Milan Skriniar.
The Nerazzurri were searching for a defender in this transfer window and have identified Azpilicueta as a potential replacement for Skriniar. The Slovenian defender will be joining Paris Saint Germain, so Inter needed a leader like him to support the defense. Moreover, the Chelsea captain prefers to play on the right side of the back three, so he will slot in seamlessly. D’Ambrosio’s future is also uncertain at Inter, and he could leave. So Inter had to bring in a defender, as only Darmian was left to operate in that role.
Azpilicueta is one step away to join Inter on a two-year deal
Azpilicueta will be a perfect candidate to fill the gaping hole in defense. Along with his defensive prowess, the Spanish defender brings leadership qualities that will strengthen Inter’s defense further. Moreover, the former Osasuna defender can operate as a wing-back. So Inzaghi will have more options to rotate in a long season. He is technically brilliant on the ball and provides pinpoint crosses in the box.
Inzaghi can implement his overloads in the right flank with Azpilicueta. The Spanish defender knows when to come forward and has the experience to interpret dangerous situations. Inter have been prone to counter-attacks, and Azpilicueta can break the opponent’s moves with his timed tackles. He might not have the pace to match the speed of wingers, but his experience makes up for it.
