‘I only wants to go back to Spain’ – Fabrizio Romano confirms another Chelsea deal
Every day it seems like I’m writing a fresh piece about another Chelsea defender trying to depart this summer.
It tells me that we’ve needed a good squad clear out for some time now, and the fact that we haven’t done it yet suggests they’re all trying to jump ship at the same time.
Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger are also free agents this summer, and Cesar Azpilicueta, the club captain, is also considering leaving and wants to move to Barcelona.
Marcos Alonso, a fourth Chelsea defender who, in my opinion, should have been sold years ago, now wants to join them all in Spain.
Marcos Alonso, according to Fabrizio Romano, ‘just wants to go back to Spain as soon as possible,’ which means this summer.
Barcelona is close to signing him, but must first agree on a deal with Chelsea.
Discussions between Barcelona and Marcos Alonso are well advanced. He only wants to go back to Spain as soon as possible. 🇪🇸 #FCB
Alonso deal will depend on price tag, still waiting for Chelsea decision. Barça have no intention to pay a huge fee as he’s out of contract in 2023. https://t.co/SBjzJEqTZF
