'Marcos Alonso has asked to leave, he wants to leave and the club has accepted'
Thomas Tuchel revealed after the 1-0 win over Everton that it made no sense to field Marcos Alonso when the full-back had asked to leave the London club for Barcelona.
Marcos Alonso will no longer play for Chelsea. After asking Thomas Tuchel to leave the squad, the German coach spoke to the local media and said: "He has asked me to leave, he wants to leave and the club has accepted it.
The Blues, who beat Everton away, did not miss the Madrid full-back. Chelsea and Barcelona are in talks to reach an agreement as soon as possible so that Alonso can be under Xavi Hernandez's orders as soon as possible.
After the game, Tuchel spoke at a press conference and said: "It didn't make sense for him to be on the pitch today. With the signing of Marc Cucurella as Chelsea's new player, Marcos Alonso was allowed to miss out and watch the former Brighton player make his debut.
The signing of the former Real Madrid academy player is in the final stages. He said goodbye to several Chelsea employees, according to 'Mundo Deportivo', and is waiting for the clubs to make the deal official.
