Atletico Madrid eye move for Chelsea full-back Alonso

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone wants to bring Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso to the Spanish capital this summer as the Rojiblancos look to rebuild their backline.

Goal understands that Alonso would be interested in a move back to his homeland but that the Blues will not sanction any sale until a new manager is appointed.

Even then a move may prove unlikely with Chelsea keen to keep as much of their current squad together as possible given the likelihood that FIFA's transfer ban will block them from signing any replacements.
