Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso has claimed he is set to extend his stay at Chelsea. The left back has been an influential figure in Maurizio Sarri’s plans and the club wants to ensure the player stay focused on the pitch.
Alonso was a regular under former manager Antonio Conte and has evolved to a more matured player this season. The 27 year old may not be the most astute defender but when it comes to attacking there is a very few players who could match his skills.
In the Conte regime the Italian had deployed him as a left wing back but with Sarri preferring a more simpler four man defence, Alonso has been balancing the act pretty well. The 27 year old said, “I am very calm and very happy at Chelsea, and the club must also be happy with me because, although I still have two years left on my contract, they have offered me an extension.
“We are talking about it and the talks to renew are already advanced. If everything goes well, I think I will renew before the end of this month – in the coming days.”
He further added, “My father takes care of that as he is the one who leads the negotiations. I am 27-years-old, I still have two more years and I am going to extend my contract.
What concerns me is to play as well as possible to win matches and titles with Chelsea and with the national team. I’m calm with my contract.”
