On Saturday, Sport reported Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso’s move to Barcelona is ‘very advanced’.
It was also explained the 31-year-old had requested Thomas Tuchel didn’t use him against Everton.
Chelsea sealed a 1-0 win over the Toffees at Goodison Park and the left-back wasn’t included in the squad for the weekend clash. After the tie, Tuchel revealed he accepted the Spain international’s request not to feature yesterday.
The German’s quotes are relayed in today’s Mundo Deportivo, who provide a background on the negotiations and when the deal could be completed.
It’s said Alonso agreed a two-year deal plus an option to extend it by a further year, after 
his agent, Fali Ramadani, met the Catalan club on Wednesday.
Xavi Hernández’s side will now have to agree a deal with Chelsea to close the transfer.
Mundo state it is not ruled out this ‘agreement could even arrive tomorrow’ since both Barca and the Blues are clear it isn’t convenient for them to drag this out any further.
The report adds the two clubs could agree a deal for €8m since Alonso has less than 12 months left on his contract at Chelsea.
