Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to admit that Marcos Alonso has expressed a desire to pursue a move to Barcelona. He recently revealed this following his club’s 1-0 win against Everton, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the club has already agreed to the Spaniard returning to Spain, and it simply made no sense for him to have same player on the pitch vs Everton.
Tuchel added that he clearly needs more new signings this summer, but not necessarily midfielders as priority.
His words, “Yes, Marcos asked to leave and we agreed to this. It would make no sense to put him on the pitch today.”
“If we can add, we will add. Not necessarily midfielders as a first option but we are open for everything.”
“I think we could use new energy, new legs and fresh input to bring us to a new level. If not, then we will push this team but I think we could use some more input and some more quality.”
