Celta de Vigo wants to make a statement in the summer transfer market with the signing of César Azpilicueta . The Galician club, determined to balance the youth of its project with experienced players in the squad, has set the veteran defender as one of its main targets for the upcoming season.

Although Celta's main focus revolves around the emerging talent of its youth academy, the board understands the importance of surrounding them with established figures. In that vein, they have already brought in Marcos Alonso and Vicente Guaita, in addition to the ever-present Iago Aspas. Now, they are targeting Azpilicueta, whose contract with Atlético Madrid expires on June 30, and he has not yet decided his next destination. The Navarrese defender, who has featured in 18 games this season, fits perfectly into the profile they are looking for at A Sede.

One of the strengths of the sky-blue team in enticing Azpilicueta is having his friend Marcos Alonso in the squad, whose signing last summer turned out to be a great success both in sporting terms and in his influence on the group. Furthermore, if the team secures qualification for European competitions, the project would become more appealing in convincing the Champions League winner.

From a tactical standpoint, the former Chelsea player offers valuable flexibility for Claudio Giráldez. Accustomed to playing in both three and four-man defenses, his addition would strengthen the coach's options, aiming to solidify a competitive and versatile team. With the market already in motion, Celta hopes to finalize an agreement that not only enhances their defense but also elevates the competitive level of their squad for the challenges of the upcoming season.
