Xabi Alonso leaves Chelsea star's agents 'in fear' after Arsenal defeat

Xabi Alonso has left a Chelsea star's agent fearing that the player might struggle for regular first-team game time this season following Sunday's defeat at Arsenal Estevao's camp are worried that Xabi Alonso will continue to use him at right wing-back for Chelsea, it has been claimed. The 19-year-old, who joined the Blues in a £29million deal from Palmeiras last summer, made 38 appearances during his first season at Stamford Bridge, scoring eight goals and providing three assists. But Estevao's game time has been reduced so far this term following Xabi Alonso's appointment as the club's first-team manager.

Vinicius Junior makes final decision on Saudi Arab

 

It has been reported that a €1 billion offer was awaiting the Brazilian winger in the Saudi Pro League, but he still feels that his future lies in the Spanish capital. Vinicius is now set to commit to fresh terms at Santiago Bernabeu.

The 24-year-old has agreed to sign a new deal with the Spanish giants, Cadena SER reports, having rejected the offers from the Middle East. Vinicius' new contract will be confirmed at the end of the campaign, with the ex-Flamengo star signing on for two or three more years on his current deal that expires in 2027.

Vinicius and Madrid were left apoplectic after the attacker missed out on the Ballon d'Or last year, but their underwhelming 2024-25 campaign means he is unlikely to be in the running for the prize this time around.

Before the new contract is announced, Vinicius will attempt to build on the 20 goals and 14 assists he has under his belt this season when Madrid face Getafe in a crucial La Liga clash on Wednesday.
