Chelsea could sign 4 Real Madrid players
According to a Football London report, Alonso’s close ties with Madrid could help Chelsea in the transfer market, with four players emerging as possible targets.
Former AS Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who recently clashed with teammate Federico Valverde, is reportedly facing uncertainty after internal tensions at the Bernabeu.
According to the same feature, versatile youngster Arda Guler is admired by Alonso, who could attempt to reunite with the Turkish gem at Stamford Bridge if he lands the top job.
Speaking about Guler previously, Alonso said:
“With his quality, he’s a mix between [Mesut] Ozil and Guti.”
The former Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid manager added:
“Arda has that something special — that natural talent you can’t teach.”
Meanwhile, veteran defender David Alaba and striker Gonzalo Garcia are also viewed as potential options should Alonso arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer.
Chelsea part ways with Liam Rosenior
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Chelsea dismissed Liam Rosenior following a heavy defeat to Brighton, a result that further deepened the club’s poor run of form.
The decision came after a troubling sequence of five straight Premier League defeats without scoring, a slump that severely damaged their push for a top-five finish.
