Marcos Alonso looks set to leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window after entering 'advanced talks' with Barcelona, according to Fabrizio Romano. Reports claim that the 31-year-old wants to return to Spain, though a switch from Stamford Bridge to the Camp Nou relies on the two parties agreeing on a price tag.
The defender, who sees his contract in west London expires next summer, has featured 46 times for Thomas Tuchel's side this season, directly contributing to 11 goals. Though despite his threat in the opposition third, his defensive qualities have often been put under the microscope. Alonso was deemed at fault for the goal from James Maddison, and Thomas Tuchel was less than impressed with his defending.
All in all, he's somewhat impressed in Ben Chilwell's absence, though he hasn't quite reached the heights that his teammate enjoyed prior to a season-ending injury in November.
