Chelsea set price for Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta amid Barcelona transfer talks

Chelsea have reportedly set a price on the potential exits of both Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso this summer. The pair only have one-year remaining on their deals at Stamford Bridge, with rumours surrounding a possible double switch to Barcelona.

It comes ahead of a huge overhaul for manager Thomas Tuchel, who is tasked with transforming his squad in the window. While the Blues started strongly last campaign, they ended the season limping to third.

A takeover from Todd Boehly has handed the German coach a reported £200million warchest to spend. Add to that a number of high-profile exits and it’s clearly a time of transition for Chelsea.

While incomings will certainly be on the mind for most when it comes to talk surrounding improvement at the club, there are still some potential departures on the cards. Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech are just a few that have been linked with an exit.

However, there are also the names of experienced duo Alonso and Azpilicueta. The latter has spent over ten-years at the club and is currently the captain, though with both entering their final year of their contracts, it could open up a transfer.

Barcelona have been widely linked and now, according to Sport, the Blues have set a price tag for both. They claim that €13million (£11million) each would land both for the Blaugrana, though there is said to be room for negotiation.

An extra £22million in transfer windfall could be useful for Tuchel, especially for squad players who may not be at the club beyond the season anyway.
