The news about azpi has been surprising me. He has been linked to the intermilan but since chelsea gives him free agent transfer and atletico was also interesting to sign him as a new player.
Azpi potentially does U turn. It's caused by his family has been forcing him to play in spanyol and he can't refuse it. Intermilan may be losing in competition against atletico madrid to get him from chelsea.

I almost forgot with this guy, he's actually one of best defenders aside Thiago Silva in Chelsea, but it's weird he only appeared few matches in the last season. Barcelona and Real Madrid already have plenty of defenders, so yeah he can't force himself to join those two big clubs in La Liga, but playing in Atletico Madrid is surely would kill him in football career because that club has no vision to become a champion in international league. Atletico Madrid only good in business as they used to be a stepping stone by great players.

I think Barcelona actually were interested in him last season's summer transfer window when Chelsea lost most of their defenders. They were interested in 3 names- Marcos Alonso, Christensen and Azpilicueta. While they managed to sign Alonso and Christensen, Azpilicueta was actually interested to move to Spian but he instead decided to play for another 2 years at Chelsea eventually. Now Barcelona is no more interested (I guess) which is why Atletico Madrid just swooped in the perfect opportunity they had.
