Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso is nearing a move to Atletico Madrid this summer, as explained by Spanish news outlet Marca.
This comes after the defender has been left frustrated by a lack of consistency in the starting 11 this season having failed to make the cut for the Europa League final on Wednesday, with Maurizio Sarri opting to play Emerson ahead of him.
Alonso flourished under Antonio Conte when given the freedom to go forward as a left wing-back. But Sarri demands more defensive responsibility from his full-backs, and the once highly-rated defender showed weaknesses in his game, making mistakes all too often.
Atletico are looking for a new left-back after cashing in on Lucas Hernandez and wanting fresh legs to replace Filipe Luis.
Both Alonso and Emerson have proved somewhat unreliable to Sarri, but with a transfer ban looming, Chelsea may have no option but to stick with what they have or look towards their youth academy.
Here are some potential replacements for Alonso should Chelsea avoid their ban.
