This will go as a blow for the Athletic Bilbao fans who hope of seeing Azpilicueta at the club next season. The rumours regarding a move were dragged for a few months, in a deal which would cost the Spanish side around €15m, according to the Spanish media.
There was also speculation saying Azpilicueta would join Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, which never seemed too likely after all.
