Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso has been linked with a January move to Real Madrid alongside Eden Hazard. It has been revealed Real management saw Alonso as a replacement for veteran wing-back Marcelo.
However, Alonso shut down talk of a return to Real Madrid.
Los Blancos attempt to secure Alnonso’s services were in vain last summer and now the fullback admits he prefers staying at Chelsea.
"What I can say is that I am very calm and very happy at Chelsea, and that the club must also be with me because, although I still have two years left on the contract, it has offered me an extension.
"We are talking about it and the talks to renew are already advanced.
"If everything goes well, I think I will renew before the end of this month. In the coming days," Alonso revealed.
