Overview
- Spanish outlet Fichajes, amplified by UK sites, linked Alonso to 25-year-old Antonio Blanco as a summer target for Chelsea.
- Reports suggest a transfer fee near €10 million, a valuation described across coverage as a low-risk option for the club.
- Blanco is presented as a defensive or central midfielder who featured regularly for Alavés this season and is valued for his leadership.
- Coverage notes Blanco’s contract runs through 2027, which could create selling pressure on Alavés to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year.
- All reports emphasize the link is unconfirmed and speculative with no public approach, bid, or club or player confirmation to date.
