Chelsea to reject offer for defender

Chelsea will reject any offer from Real or Atletico Madrid for defender Marcos Alonso, according to the Daily Star.

The player has been the subject of transfer speculation linking him with a move to Spain, but the former Real Madrid player is set to stay with Maurizio Sarri's side.

Real and Atleti are ready to pay £30m for the former Bolton Wanderers player who joined Chelsea in the summer of 2016 from Italian side Fiorentina.

The 27-year-old previously played for Sunderland where he made 19 appearances for the Black Cats.

Since his move to Chelsea, he has made 84 appearances, scoring 15 goals and providing 9 assists.

The Spaniard is an important member of Maurizio Sarri's side, and it is highly unlikely that he will be sold given the fact that the Blues won't be able to sign a replacement this summer.

He has featured in Chelsea's two Premier League games this season, scoring the winner against Arsenal in a 3-2 victory over the weekend.
