Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of this season.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 31-year-old winger wants to return to Spain and FC Barcelona is interested in signing him. The transfer expert tweeted the following regarding Alonso’s future with the Blues:
“Marcos Alonso has not changed his plans. He is set to leave Chelsea this summer; he wants to return to Spain and Barcelona is in advanced talks on personal terms, but he is still waiting for the price».
In the same tweet, Fabrizio Romano also confirmed that loan Emerson Palmieri will return to Stamford Bridge after a successful spell at Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais.

Marcos Alonso has been Thomas Tuchel’s first-choice left-back this season in the absence of Ben Chilwell. The England international has missed most of the 2021-22 season after suffering an Achilles tendon injury earlier this season.
Marcos Alonso has made 46 appearances for Chelsea this season, contributing five goals and six assists along the way. It is worth mentioning that the Spaniard only has one year left on his current contract.
It makes sense for the Blues to offload the former Bolton and Sunderland full-back this summer rather than see him leave on a free transfer next summer.
According to the aforementioned source, Barcelona are in talks with Alonso about his contract and are waiting for Chelsea to quote a price. Marcos Alonso shouldn’t cost the Catalan giants a fortune as he only has one year left on his contract.
According to Transfermarkt, the 31-year-old Spaniard is only valued at £13.5m.
Meanwhile, the Blues are not yet in a position to engage in transfer activities as they are under sanctions. However, the club is close to being bought by a consortium led by Todd Boehly.
Chelsea’s 2021-22 season has been a mixed one
Chelsea’s 2021-22 season has been a story of many ups and downs. The Blues will finish the season having secured two trophies to their name. Thomas Tuchel’s team have won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup this season.
However, they have also lost two cup finals this season. The Blues lost the Carabao Cup final and FA Cup final to Liverpool earlier this year.
Both finals were decided on penalties after a goalless match.
