As the Chelsea squad overhaul gathers pace, club captain Cesar Azpilicueta is the latest to be linked with a move away.

Azpilicueta is entering the final year of his Chelsea contract and there have been no talks over a new deal at this moment.

After 508 appearances in 11 seasons, it appears to be time for the versatile 33-year-old defender to try a new challenge as his career draws to a close.

According to the DailyMail, Azpilicueta is already in talks to move to Serie A giants Inter Milan, a side that could offer him Champions League football next season.

Azpilicueta was close to leaving the Blues last summer for Barcelona but the move did not materialise and he instead signed a new two-year contract.

Should he depart, the Chelsea captain would exit as one of the club's legends helping the team to 2 Premier League titles, 1 Champions League and 1 FA Cup.
