Chelsea may be forced into the transfer market for a new left-back this summer, with Marcos Alonso looking increasingly likely to leave the club. The 31-year-old has just over 12 months remaining on his contract with the Blues and looks set to call time on his almost six-year stay at the club at the end of the season.
Alonso has been a constant figure in Chelsea's team since the turn of the year, with Ben Chilwell set to miss the remainder of the season through injury. Thomas Tuchel has shown trust in Alonso despite recalling Kenedy from his loan spell. Alonso was taken off at half-time in the Blues' 2-2 draw with Wolves on Saturday, though, with Saul Niguez coming on and playing in an unorthodox left wing-back role for him.
Numerous reports are claiming Alonso is keen to leave Chelsea this summer. The left-back is about to enter the final 12 months of his contract with the Blues and Barcelona are reportedly interested in the Spaniard's services.
