Chelsea have held encouraging discussions over a move for Xabi Alonso but are keeping their options open and are closely monitoring Andoni Iraolaβs situation.
Chelsea are optimistic about luring Alonso to Stamford Bridge with positive early discussions. CFC feel his style of play suits squad. The unknown now is whether Alonso decides to move to England or take a break. Suggestions that he is waiting for Liverpool have been downplayed.
Chelsea have also met with Andoni Iraola. Something that has been acknowledged by the recruitment department is the need for the team to become more physical. That heightens the appeal of Iraola. There is a sense he is capable of scaling up to a bigger job

One of Xabi Alonsoβs main demands to Chelsea is to have full control over the squad and key sporting decisions.
BlueCo have learned from their mistakes with Enzo Maresca and are willing to give Alonso that power.
