OFFICIAL: Cesar Azpilicueta has left Chelsea.

Chelsea Confirm César Azpilicueta will leave the club after 11 years ahead of his move to Atletico Madrid. Cesar Azpilicueta made 508 appearances and lifted the 2021 UCL as captain. 


Cesar Azpilicueta become the first ever Chelsea player to win ever cup in the club's history. 

Bohley/Eghbali: “Cesar leaves an everlasting mark at Chelsea, as a warrior, as a champion, and as loyal Chelsea legend. He has set the standards at the club for more than a decade and demonstrated to everyone what is required day in, day out to achieve success.”

 “Coaches and teammates past and present have trusted him to lead by example as captain. He has done so immaculately on and off the pitch, something for which we are grateful. For that and so much more, Cesar will always be welcomed back at Stamford Bridge.”




Azpilicueta "This is, without a doubt, the hardest letter I have ever had to write, but I want to be the one to share this with you: after 11 incredible seasons proudly keeping the blue flag flying high, the time has come for me to leave Chelsea FC."


"Our journey together started on the 24th of August 2012: After waiting impatiently to travel to London, my first day as a Chelsea player finally became a reality. From the first moment I wore the blue shirt, I felt right at home. I will always remember the butterflies in my stomach as I looked at all the trophies and successful moments posted on the wall of the training ground, a success that a young "Azpi "wanted to emulate. I could not have imagined to be here today after 508 appearances, winning 9 trophies and becoming your captain.


Adriana and I arrived in London as a young couple, and we are leaving as a family of five, with our kids having been born and raised in England. Our bond with the city and the club will remain forever."
