Something certainly seems to be happening with this one now, although there is also caution from most reports you read, suggesting that nothing is done or advanced yet at this stage.
However, Romano is now being forced to admit that there is actually something going on with Alonso to Chelsea, and that the world class manager is open to a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.

In his latest YouTube video last night, Romano said:
“Xabi Alonso is open to a new chapter in the Premier League. He would also be open to Chelsea!
“Chelsea are yet to decide who they want and are being careful in the process during internal talks. Discussions ongoing. They want the right man.”
Malo Gusto infuriated some Chelsea fans with his performance on Saturday afternoon, and some are now writing him off for good with their latest reflections on the player.
Chelsea are pushing for Xabi Alonso and the Basque seems interested, with a pre-World Cup deadline certainly possible. And it’s not just Fabrizio Romano reporting it!
