Barcelona are closing in on a deal to sign Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso this summer, as they await a green light from Thomas Tuchel.

The deal will likely see them lose Alonso now, with the latest reports stating that a move to Barcelona is close for the wing-back. However, with Chelsea closing in on a deal for Brighton and Hove Albion defender Marc Cucurella, this should free Alonso and allow him to leave the club. The Spaniard, who has just a year left on his deal at Stamford Bridge, has been heavily linked with a move to La Liga this summer.

Barcelona want to accelerate the pursuit of veteran Chelsea left wing-back, Marcos Alonso, to reinforce their left-back position.

We cannot expect a huge fee for Alonso but we will be shipping out a player who doesn’t really have much time left in the top-flight. He still can do a job as the backup but we have other options and with Alonso wanting to leave, it is best that we move on. Barcelona are interested in signing Alonso and are set to make an offer for the defender.

That may still prove to be the case, and it remains to be seen what fee Chelsea are prepared to accept for the 31-year-old. Alonso has also previously acknowledged that he would like the opportunity to play in his homeland, his solitary appearance in Spanish football coming for Real Madrid in 2010.

Presumably the two clubs had hammered out the majority of the terms, and while there will be some haggling and tweaking still to come, it shouldn’t take long. Another element apparently lacking is Thomas Tuchel’s green light, but we can’t see that being a sticking point now the Chelsea boss has a clear upgrade on the books. Chelsea will want the Spaniard off their books now, and Barcelona will want him in Xavi’s squad as soon as possible to start his integration.

Barcelona might have missed out on one Chelsea full-back in Cesar Azpilicueta, but they are confident of signing Marcos Alonso.
