Chelsea have confirmed that Marcos Alonso's contract has been terminated by mutual consent – and the Spaniard is set to complete a move to Barcelona later today.
Alonso arrived at Stamford Bridge from Fiorentina in a deal worth £24million in the summer of 2016. He began the campaign among the substitutes but came into the starting XI when Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 and played an important role in the Blues winning the Premier League title.
He remained a regular figure in the side under Maurizio Sarri and during Frank Lampard's first season at the helm. However, Alonso fell out with the Chelsea legend after being brought off at half time of a 3-3 draw against West Bromwich Albion and it wasn't until Thomas Tuchel took charge that he was brought back into the fold.
