🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Xabi Alonso has delivered a strong message to the Chelsea squad, if you don’t want to be here, he won’t stop you from leaving.
Xabi Alonso remains firm in his philosophy and has made his position very clear behind the scenes. The Chelsea manager only wants players who are fully committed to the project, willing to stay, fight for the badge, and give everything for the club. For Alonso, talent alone isn’t enough; desire, mentality, and commitment are non-negotiable.
I’m told Alonso has personally contacted several players, including Marc Cucurella, to understand their intentions and feelings about the future. While those conversations have been positive, he has no plans to pressure anyone into staying. He believes every player should make their own decision about where they want their future to be.
What’s interesting is that Alonso will not ask Chelsea to block the departure of any player who genuinely wants to leave. He doesn’t want a dressing room filled with players who are uncertain about their future or lacking complete belief in the project. His focus is on building a united squad that shares the same ambition.
The message couldn’t be clearer: Chelsea will be for players who are happy to wear the shirt, ready to compete, and willing to give everything for the club. Xabi Alonso wants fighters, leaders, and players fully committed to the journey ahead, not those who need convincing to stay. 🔵💙
