Real Madrid are reportedly considering re-signing Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso according to a report published by The Daily Star.
While English clubs are not permitted to buy new players following the August 9 deadline, they may still sell players till the end of the month.
Alonso was a first-team regular at Stamford Bridge under Antonio Conte and it looks like he could be given a key role for the club under Maurizio Sarri this season.
It would be foolish if Chelsea listen to offers for Alonso at this stage, especially as they will not be able to find a replacement till January.
Alonso is a product of the Madrid youth development system and made his first-team debut for the club in 2010, however, he was never able to establish himself within the first-team.
He had stints with the likes of Bolton Wanderers, Fiorentina and a loan deal with Sunderland before moving to Chelsea in 2016.
