Chelsea's Azpilicueta was subject of unsuccessful PSG bid

Cesar Azpilicueta was reportedly the subject of a failed bid from Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

Reports in France suggest that Ligue 1 champions PSG pursued the Spanish full-back prior to the 2014/15 season but Financial Fair Play rules denied them success in their chase.

Le Parisien reports that PSG made an £8.5million offer Azpilicueta but the fact they had just paid the Blues £50m for David Luiz hindered their move.

Azpilicueta has been a star for the Blues since joining from Marseille in 2012 and is a key part of Jose Mourinho's line-up.
