Atletico Madrid got an additional player for the defense from Chelsea, namely César Azpilicueta. Because his contract expired at the end of June, César Azpilicueta's status became a free agent and Atletico took advantage of this opportunity to secure the services of the Chelsea veteran. His contract with Atletico lasted for two seasons and it was a good deal for César Azpilicueta to finish his career at Atletico. Diego Simeone certainly can't wait to give direction to the former Chelsea captain and his experience will certainly provide motivation for other Atletico players.

Looks Atletico Madrid tactician make César Azpilicueta as short term project with short term contract duration and give him two years contract. I think good deal for Atletico Madrid get César Azpilicueta's sign as free agent after his contract over with Chelsea, but its possibility or not for him get regular position with Atletico Madrid after losing minutes playing with Chelsea last season.
Inter Milan was very dissappoint with Azpilicueta because before he decided to joining Atletico Madrid Azpilicueta has been reach to verbal agreement with Inter Milan he even will be used as the replacement of Milan Skriniar who joined PSG but in fact Azpilicueta is more likely want to playing at Laliga because seems the proporsal from Atletico Madrid is very tempting him to joined and it say Azpilicueta will gets 2 years contract until 2025 i think this is good transfer because Atletico Madrid gets the player just like Azpilicueta for free because he is experience player and during with Chelsea he has help this team to gets several trophies besides that Azpilicueta can be good to as the substitution of Reinildo Mandava who has position as left back
