Marcos Alonso reportedly agrees terms with Atletico Madrid

Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso has reportedly agreed terms with Atletico Madrid ahead of a summer switch.

According to Spanish outlet Marca, cited by Caught Offside, the 28-year-old has agreed personal terms with Diego Simeone’s side, despite both clubs yet to agree on a fee for the player.

Alonso has been with the Blues since 2016 and has been a regular in the side under a number of different managers. 

The defender was used just four times in the Blues’ Europa League campaign, with Maurizio Sarri using Emerson in Europe and domestic cup competitions. 

It would be a surprise if the club allows Alonso to leave over the summer, especially considering they have a two-window transfer ban looming over them. 

If the Spaniard returns to his native country with Atletico, it would leave Italian Emerson as the remaining senior left-back and may mean the Blues will have to rely on younger players with limited first-team experience.
