Marcos Alonso reportedly urged Tuchel not to start him against Everton because he wants to concentrate on deciding his future and avoid being hurt, which may hurt his move.
According to reports, Barcelona and Chelsea have reached an agreement on a transfer price of €10 million for Alonso. The Spaniard will sign a deal with Barca that runs until 2024 with an option for an extra year.
Fabrizio Romano, a transfer specialist, has reported that a deal for Alonso is about to be finalized.
Romano tweeted: “Marcos Alonso is not part of Chelsea squad today as agreement with Barcelona is pretty near – the issue of last formalities then it will be done in the next days. Callum Hudson-Odoi, who was also left off the team for the Everton game, is also set for the move.” #FCB
