CHELSEA icon Cesar Azpilicueta has sealed a transfer to Inter Milan after agreeing a two-year deal.
The move will see the Spaniard make a return to the Champions League, with the Blues not in Europe this season.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Azpilicueta has agreed personal terms with the Italian giants and will join on a two-year deal.
He is now set to complete a free transfer, with Chelsea happy to cancel his contract a year early to allow him to leave for the Champions League runners-up.
It means Azpilicueta’s 11-year stay at Stamford Bridge will come to an end this summer.
The 33-year-old joined the club from Marseille for £7million in 2012 and has made over 500 appearances in blue.
