Marseille chief denies Cesar deal

By

Marseille president Vincet Labrune has denied reports his club have agreed a deal with Chelsea for full-back Cesar Azpilicueta to move to Stamford Bridge.

French media have reported that the player is set to go for 8million euros.

But Labrune told the newspaper La Marseillaise: “I do not know who started this story, but they are totally wrong. It surely comes from agents that have an interest in the deal.

“Maybe they imagine that by running around making a noise about 8million euros it will make a difference, but it will not. For the moment nothing is happening.”

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo refused to comment on the issue following his team’s 4-2 win over Reading on Tuesday.
