Chelsea face a few months of big transfer decisions with a number of players now thinking about their futures at the club.
January is right around the corner now, and that means four current defenders can agree pre-contract with new clubs ahead of moving their as free agents come the summer.

But there is another defender who is also contemplating his Chelsea future, and that is Marcos Alonso.
According to transfer reporter Ian McGarry on The Transfer Window Podcast this week, both Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta have asked their agents to find them new clubs where they believe they will get more playing time.

“Azpilicueta and Alonso have informed their representatives to find another club, or certainly to find alternatives, where they believe that they will get playing time."

Both players have been left as mainly backup options this season and at best have been used purely as rotation players.
Alonso will always be backup to Ben Chilwell, and Azpilicueta will be back for Reece James, or at the right side of the back three.
Well, is not a bad moment for them to decide a future of themself. Only that when player decided to move on let him go. I wish them well..
