Atletico Madrid looking to loan Marcos Alonso
When it comes to the transfer market, Atletico are simply one of the best in the business.
The reports in England and Spain suggested that Atletico Madrid are looking to loan Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso.
Chelsea spent 23 million euros to sign the Spain international from Fiorentina in the summer of 2016. The 30-year-old has three years left on his current contract which expires in 2023.
The left-back has featured in only 3 matches for Chelsea this term in all competitions.
The 30-year-old is considered to be one of the best left-backs in Spain.
Marcos Alonso has earned 3 senior caps for the Spain national team but is yet to open his goal-scoring account for his nation.
He is out of the picture at Chelsea, which has opened the door for a potential exit.
Atletico are looking to sign a left-back and have identified the 30-year-old as potential transfer target.
Diego Simeone is a firm fan of Chelsea left-back and Atletico could make a move for the player if the financial aspect makes sense.
Marcos Alonso is a skilled left-back who can make a difference at both ends of the pitch. His versatile nature can help the manager to be more flexible with the formations.
According to the report, “Atletico Madrid are eyeing Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso. Alonso could be lined up for a move back to his homeland in January, says El Chiringuito. Alonso has struggled for game time this campaign as sits behind Ben Chilwell and Emerson in the pecking order. The Spaniard is being linked with a loan move to La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid. Atletico coach Diego Simeone is proposing a move for the left back.”
