Successful at London's "Chelsea" club, Marcos Alonso revealed that before moving to the "Blues" team, he had the opportunity to wear "Barcelona" socks. The 26-year-old wing-back moved to "Chelsea" last summer for £24 million after performing well at "Fiorentina". The Spaniard also drew the attention of Barcelona, but he did not take it seriously. "It is true that there was some conversation with Barcelona, but at that time I had no intention of leaving the Fiorentina team. It was only when Chelsea made an offer in the summer that I started to think about making a change," said M. Alonso. "There were many great teams interested in me in the summer, but I decided to choose Chelsea because it was a team that I always liked. I saw that I could fit in well here. I had several offers from Italy and Spain, but when I received attention from Chelsea, I knew what my new career stop would be," finished the Spaniard. Having joined Antonio Conte's team this season, M. Alonso has already played 25 matches and scored four goals.
