César Azpilicueta has officially joined Sevilla as their latest recruit.
In a significant move for the upcoming 25-26 season, Sevilla has announced the signing of Spanish international defender César Azpilicueta. The veteran defender joins the Spanish club on a one-year deal with an option for another, aiming to strengthen the defense and bolster their title aspirations.
Azpilicueta, 33, arrives at Sevilla after spending the last two campaigns at Atlético de Madrid. Before that, he had a successful stint at Chelsea FC, where he captained the team to win the Champions League. His career, spanning over a decade, has been marked by multiple continental and domestic titles, including the Europa League (twice), Premier League (twice), European Super Cup, FA Cup, and Club World Cup.
Born in the lower categories of Osasuna, Azpilicueta has moved teams multiple times throughout his career. He has also represented Olympique de Marseille before joining Atlético de Madrid. His most recent move, to Sevilla, comes as a free agent after his contract with Atlético de Madrid expired.
The Spanish national team captain has played 45 games as an absolute international. His arrival at Sevilla marks the fourth signing for the club's 25-26 season, following Alfon, Suazo, and Vlachodimos.
With Loïc Badé no longer a reference for Sevilla's defense, Azpilicueta's signing is expected to provide a steady hand and valuable experience to the team. However, the defender has yet to debut for Sevilla after the dispute of the first two rounds.
