Duo Madrid Pursue Chelsea Midfielder

DBasia.news – Entering the last 10-days of the summer transfer market, European clubs (except England and Italy) are still hunting for the new players to strengthen some specific area. Two Madrid clubs, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are eyeing the same player.

He is the 27-year-old left-back of Chelsea, Marcos Alonso. As reported by AS (21/8), Alonso with 30 million euro price tag is the target of Madrid and Atletico, with different reasons.

Certainly, Chelsea will keep him because there is no chance to look for the successor if Alonso leaves, or recruit new player whether it’s loaned or permanent transfer, considering the transfer market has ended in England.

Atletico Prepare Alternative Plan

Atletico already have two great left defenders, Filipe Luis and Lucas Hernandez. The latter has recorded a world cup champion with France national team. However, Atletico prepare the alternative plan to anticipate Luis’ exit.

The Brasilian 33-year-old left defender is the target of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) who are looking for an option, also the competitor of Layvin Kurzawa. The negotiation is still going, however, Luis rumored to determine his will to come to Paris.

Alonso also considered as the ideal successor of Luis and of course, way younger than him. Playing in Spain won’t be difficult for Alonso, the alumnus of the Madrid academy. He can also become the right rival for Hernandez to stay in the Europe highest level competition.

Marcelo’s Successor in Madrid

One of Madrid’s missions is to take back La Fabrica’s alumnus, considering the left defense is filled with a 30-year-old player. Marcelo doesn’t have any rival in his position because Theo Hernandez is loaned to Real Sociedad. Alonso’s presence will jazz up the rivalry for the left defender position

Alonso knows El Real’s internal matter. Besides, similar to Marcelo, the former Bolton Wanderers and Fiorentina player is reliable to help the attack (overlap). In his two past seasons with Chelsea, Alonso always becomes the attacking option of The Blues while doing the overlap. Also, Alonso could execute the dead ball with his left leg.

Until the end of the summer transfer market, both Madrid and Atletico will try to pursue Alonso. Derby Madrid is happening in the transfer market as well.
