While Chelsea have added new left-back Guglielmo, 31-year-old Spanish international Marcos Alonso has reached a turning point in his career. According to the Daily Mail, Alonso has secretly said goodbye to Chelsea's base staff, signaling that he will soon join Barcelona's camp.
In his six years at Chelsea, Marcos Alonso has made over 200 appearances, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, Europa League, UEFA Cup and Club World Cup with the team. The left-back not only has an outstanding assisting ability, but also scored five goals last season. However, with Chelsea bringing in Guglielmo for £62 million, Alonso is expected to lose his starting position and a move at this time may open up a new chapter in his career.
Sources revealed that Marcos Alonso has accepted Barcelona's contract terms and will soon sign a two-year contract. Some Spanish media pointed out that Alonso pleaded with Chelsea manager Ducao not to arrange for him to play in the Premier League match against Ewarton in the early hours of Sunday morning, so as to avoid affecting the transfer matters due to injury.
