Marcos Alonso committed his future to Chelsea by signing a new deal which will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2023.

The Spain international was a transfer target for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the summer and the former had still maintained interested.

Mundo Deportivo claims the 27-year-old’s decision to commit his future to the west London club has seen him ‘move away’ from the Champions League winners and other potential suitors.

The European champions have Marcelo as the first choice right-back at the club and the Catalan newspaper reports the ex-Bolton Wanderers man was one of the ‘main options’ for the La Liga giants to replace the Brazilian in the ‘near future’.

Marcelo has been linked with a move to Juventus as the reports in Italy suggests the Old Lady are ready to part ways with Alex Sandro and use the funds from his sale to sign the Los Blancos defender. 

With Alonso putting pen to paper on a new contract at Chelsea, Real Madrid’s plans to sign him are now crushed and they will be forced to look elsewhere.
