New Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso is preparing to take charge of the team and has already made decisions regarding the future of several star players.
Details: According to Jack Rosser, the Spanish tactician is determined to keep Enzo Fernández at the club and will personally try to convince the midfielder to stay. Alonso also intends to hold similar talks with Marc Cucurella in an effort to ensure the defender remains at Chelsea for next season.
Earlier, it was reported that Manchester United and Manchester City had entered the race to sign Marc Cucurella. Chelsea reportedly placed a price tag of around €50 million on the Spaniard, immediately attracting the attention of several European heavyweights.
Reminder: Xabi Alonso is reportedly far from convinced by the reliability of Chelsea's current goalkeepers, prompting the Blues to actively search for a new first-choice shot-stopper.
