Marcos Alonso almost left Chelsea on deadline day, before Barcelona pulled the plug. The Blues decided that they want to keep the defender after Thomas Tuchel gave him his fourth start of the season. Alonso had been heavily linked with a move away before the window began. He was subject to late interest from Barcelona. Barca were in talks to send Junior Firpo to AC Milan late in the window. If the deal would have gone through, the Catalans would then have moved for Alonso, according to Mundo Deportivo. As a result of the deal collapsing, Alonso will now stay and fight for his place in the Chelsea side under Tuchel. The left-back scored his first goal of the season against Burnley on Sunday.
