Marcos Alonso refuses to rule out Chelsea exit

Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso has hinted that he could leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

The 28-year-old scored twice and registered six assists in 31 Premier League appearances for Chelsea during the 2018-19 campaign.

The full-back only penned a new long-term deal with the Blues in the latter stages of 2018 but Atletico Madrid have recently been linked with a swoop.

Alonso has said that he is "very happy" at Stamford Bridge but refused to rule out a summer exit.

"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," Alonso told the London Evening Standard.

"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."

Alonso, who is a three-time Spain international, is currently with the Chelsea squad preparing for the Europa League final against Arsenal on May 29.
