Barcelona interested in signing Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso

Barcelona are interested in signing the Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso this summer.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants consider the Spaniard as an ideal addition alongside Jordi Alba. Alba is more of a wing back and Barcelona are on the lookout for someone like Eric Abidal. The report adds that Alonso’s performances under Conte have impressed Barcelona.

Chelsea signed Marcos Alonso from Fiorentina last summer and he has been a regular member of Conte’s starting lineup. There is no reason why Chelsea would consider selling him at the end of this season. Furthermore, the report also adds that Alonso is happy at Stamford Bridge right now.
