🚨 Xabi Alonso: “The positions we need to strengthen are clear, we’re working with the sporting directors in an aligned way. We need to make important decisions, right decisions, but sure there is already a strong base built. Hunger, passion, attention to details is needed from players and potential signings.’’
Alonso on Palmer: ‘’From the first day you can see he is a special talent, a special player. It is not easy to have one of those. You notice his quality, how he is able to play the right decision in the right spot. I am happy he’s come in a good mindset and wants to have a good season. We are really looking forward to get the best from him. We are building a strong team to find the key players, for sure Cole is one of these key players in the attacking part.’’
Alonso on Enzo Fernandez: ‘’We spoke, what we spoke about remains private. Do you want to keep him? ‘’Err yeah yeah.’’
Alonso on Palestra: ‘’He’s a player that gives you versatility in positioning, he can play in a back 4 or back 5, he even played on the left sometimes, physically strong, he has a very good mentality. Has already been training with us.’’
Alonso on Jackson: ‘’He’s joining the tour in Asia and we are looking forward to him working with us.’’
Alonso on Garnacho: ‘’The situation is that we have spoken with the sporting directors. There is interest in him from other clubs. Hopefully it finishes in the best possible way for everyone.”
‘’Hopefully at the end we will have a World Champion come back to Cobham and we celebrate that.”

#INFO: Chelsea do not have a policy that rules out selling a player to any particular club, as shown by Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga joining Arsenal over the past three years. Another example is Mateo Kovacic going to Manchester City in 2023.
Santos wanted to make the move to Old Trafford and Chelsea did not have an issue as long as the price was right.
