Deal on as Chelsea and Atletico in talks to seal deal for Spanish star

Atletico Madrid are in talks to sign Chelsea full-back Marcos Alonso – according the latest reports.

We are just a few days away from the opening of the January transfer window and there is alot of speculation in the media that the board will hand Lampard some funds in order to sign a few players that will finish off his spending.

However, we have a massive squad and will need to offload a few players well before we are able to bring some players into the squad, meaning that stars like Alonso are no longer needed at the club.

And according to reports on the Independent, we are now in talks with Madrid to try and get a transfer deal done for the left-back.

The Spanish giants are looking to bring the 30-year-old in on an initial loan deal as Diego Simeone seeks to bolster his defensive ranks for the second half of the season.

And the reports says we are ready to sanction Alonso’s departure, with Ben Chilwell and Emerson Palmieri currently ahead of the Spaniard in the squad pecking order.

Look, Alonso has been a decent servant for the club over the past few seasons and we have enjoyed watching him play, but at the end of the day, he is done at the club and it is the best thing for him to move on.

We already have enough players in that position and may even look to find a replacement, so if the reports are true and talks are in progress, we will wish the man all the best of luck.
