Marcos Alonso may be the scapegoat of the Chelsea community – but that’s not to say that he doesn’t have admirers elsewhere.
The Spaniard is undoubtedly effective in an attacking sense, but his defensive ability leaves a lot to be desired.
When you’re used to seeing the most well-rounded left-back in Premier League history in Ashley Cole occupying that spot, Alonso falls short of expectations.
For some, it appears Alonso’s defensive frailties can be overlooked. AS believe that Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone is really keen.
Former Blue Filipe Luis is set to depart the Wanda Metropolitano, and AS are under the impression that Alonso has been identified as his successor.
Emerson Palmieri is the superior left-back, so it would be no disaster to see Alonso leave if the price is right.
That’s our standpoint, anyway. It’s unclear how Maurizio Sarri and Marina Granovskaia if an attractive offer was put in for Alonso.
