In spite of him having three more years to go on his Chelsea contract, he could be in line for a summer exit.

Speaking on his future, Alonso’s father was non-committal to his son continuing in London. He did, however, admit that Alonso loves Italy hinting at a return to the nation where he made his name.

” It doesn’t depend on him, but on the will of the English club. I can only say that my son loves Italy”

Alonso spent three seasons in Italy playing for Fiorentina. He made 85 appearances for the Viola in all competitions.
