Barcelona end interest in Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso

Barcelona are reportedly unlikely to pursue a deal for Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso before the end of January.

Alonso has been frozen out by Blues manager Frank Lampard since September, leaving the Spaniard available for transfer at the midway point of the campaign.

According to Sempremilan, the left-back has allegedly emerged as a potential option for Barcelona, who are keen to offload Junior Firpo in the coming days.

However, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano says that AC Milan, the frontrunners for Firpo, have ended their interest in the player.

That has seemingly left Chelsea needing to find another interested club, although they may have to pay a significant portion of Alonso’s wage to attract a bid for the 30-year-old.Source: Sportsmole

Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Martin Odegaard on loan from Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.

But according to El Confidencial and El Diario Vasco, a newspaper based in San Sebastian, Real Sociedad have lost out to Arsenal in the race to sign Odegaard.
