Marcos Alonso to Atletico Madrid will have to wait

Since the arrival of Ben Chilwell at Chelsea, Marcos Alonso has regularly found himself out of the Chelsea matchday squad, barely making an appearance for the team in matchdays. Even a place on the bench has been unlikely for the Spaniard, with Emerson being preferred instead. 

While there were links with a transfer to Inter Milan during last winter’s transfer window, as well as the summer went by, the 30-year-old has stayed put at Chelsea. However, his days at Stamford Bridge are numbered for sure, with Frank Lampard preferring the other options at his disposal. 

Atletico Madrid has been one of the destinations apart from Inter that are reportedly interested in bringing Alonso home. The former Real Madrid player has experience in La Liga, and is also familiar with the city from his time with Los Blancos. 

Clarifying the situation on the Here We Go podcast on Patreon, Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio indicated that there is currently no contact between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Marcos Alonso. However, something could be on the cards at the end of the season. 

A loan deal could be favourable for the Rojiblancos, or even a swap deal. The Italian journalists mentioned that it would be difficult for Atletico to pay up for the player given the dire financial condition for Spanish clubs, who have it much worse than other countries in Europe. 

A move to Inter Milan to January also looks unlikely given that Antonio Conte’s squad is absolutely stacked right now. However, the Italian coach could reunite with Alonso at the end of the season when the finances stabilise and business can resume as usual for the big European clubs.
