As part of the arrangement, Chelsea will terminate his contract at Stamford Bridge, allowing the club legend to leave for new a challenge.

As a result he'll join the Champions League finalists as he pursues a new challenge as he moves into the latter years of his career.

The Spanish defender completed a move to west London 11 years ago after joining from Marseille back in 2012.

Since then, the 33-year-old has gone onto make 508 appearances for the Blues, scoring 17 goals in the process.

He also has a pretty spectacular trophy haul to his name, having won two Premier League titles, a Champions League, two Europa Leagues, a UEFA Super Cup and a FIFA Club World Cup.

Azpilcueta won't be the last player to leave Chelsea this summer either, with stars such as Kalidou Koulibaly, Hakim Ziyech and Mason Mount among the frontrunners to move on.
