Alonso does not officially start his role as Chelsea manager until the start of July, but you’d be naïve to think that he isn’t already getting to work with plans for when he does start preseason as well as transfer plans for the summer.
Chelsea’s project gets a lot of criticism, and it is apparently going to be tweaked a bit this summer with different types of signings. So it’s interesting that Alonso is asked about the Chelsea project.

Alonso is asked by El Chiringuito TV how the Chelsea move happened? Tell us a bit about it? Was it the offer? The fact they won’t play in Europe?”
“No, I was always open to it, and, well, it’s a beautiful project.”
“Chelsea is a nice project, it’s a very good option.”
Joao Pedro is being linked with Barcelona – and will apparently make it clear to Chelsea that he wants to join them. A €100m fee is being spoken about for Chelsea to let him go.
Andrey Santos was delighted with his first Premier League goal for Chelsea. He’s explained a funny story about what his Wife said to him after the game.
