Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso admits he has a "desire" to return and play in his native Spain amid transfer links with Barcelona.
The former Real Madrid academy product, who has spent the past six years at Stamford Bridge, has been heavily linked with a return to his homeland this summer with Barcelona tipped to sign a number of Chelsea players. Barcelona already look to have lined up a deal for Blues star Andreas Christensen, while Cesar Azpilicueta could join him at the Nou Camp.
A cut-price move for Alonso is not out of the question either, despite him playing a regular role under Thomas Tuchel last season. Alonso has a year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge and while the defender insists he is happy to stay, he already has one eye on his next move.
