Chelsea defender Alonso: Real Madrid return? We'll see

Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso has cast doubt on his future today.

Alonso signed a new five-year contract only last October, but has struggled for form under coach Maurizio Sarri and reports in Spain have linked him with a return to Real Madrid.

When asked if he is definitely staying at Chelsea in light of fresh Real Madrid interest, Alonso told the London Evening Standard: “I am very happy here but we will see what happens this summer.

“There is always talk (like this). Is it a compliment? Yes. It means I'm doing well if other teams are trying to get in touch.

“But first of all I'm focusing on the final. I am very happy to have four more years here and hopefully I will stay many more years here."
