Marcos Alonso is set to sit out the season at Chelsea.

Mundo Deportivo says neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid are ready to sign the left-back.

Alonso has affinity with both clubs, having come through the Madrid academy to play for the team and follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, Marcos Alonso Imaz.

And his father, Marcos Alonso Pena, starred for Barcelona during his illustrious career.

But neither club is prepared to rescue the Spaniard from his Chelsea nightmare.
