Transfer: Alonso bids Chelsea goodbye ahead of move to Barca

Marcos Alonso has reportedly said farewell to Chelsea team-mates as his move to Barcelona nears completion.

The Blues signed Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella in a £62million deal on Friday, with the 24-year-old expected to go straight into Thomas Tuchel’s side for today’s trip to Everton.

That deal has subsequently opened the door for Alonso, 31, to bring his six-year Stamford Bridge stay to a close and join Xavi’s new-look Blaugrana outfit back in his homeland.

The Mail claim the nine-cap La Roja international bid farewell to players and staff at the Blues’ Cobham training ground on Friday, in the hope of finalising the switch this weekend.
