Chelsea<\/a> manager Xabi Alonso has asked the club\u2019s owners, BlueCo, to sign Aurelien Tchouameni<\/a> and Arda Guler from Real Madrid, according to a report, which has also revealed an offer that the Blues have made for another of Los Blancos stars.<\/p>\n

With Alonso<\/a> now at the helm at Chelsea, the London club are aiming to rebuild and get back among the Champions League places in the Premier League table next season.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> have already signed Marco Palestra from Atalanta and are trying to get a deal done with Sunderland for Granit Xhaka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alonso, though, is not planning to stop there, with the former Liverpool midfielder keen on raiding his former club, Real Madrid<\/a>, for two of their best players.<\/p>\n

According to Sport<\/a>, Alonso wants Chelsea to try to sign France international defensive midfielder Tchouameni<\/a> and Turkey international attacking midfielder Guler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alonso worked with both the two players during his time as Madrid manager and would love them to join him at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard has reportedly told Chelsea that if they are forced to sell Enzo Fernandez, then they should sign Tchouameni and Guler.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid have publicly denied any interest in Fernandez<\/a>, but both Arsenal and Manchester City are keen on the Argentina international, who is starring at the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n

The Barcelona-leaning Spanish publication has stated: \u2018Both were part of his inner circle\u00a0during his time at the helm of Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Frenchman was a fixture in the starting lineup and, at the same time, his extension on the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u2018He had a special connection with Guler.<\/p>\n

\u2018He made him a starter and kept him there even after Bellingham returned from injury.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Turk stepped up under the guidance of the man from Tolosa, shining and establishing himself in the team.<\/p>\n

\u2018Both Tchouameni and G\u00fcler have doubts about their new situation\u00a0at the club following Mourinho\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n

\u2018Although he has spoken with them,\u00a0the Frenchman is among those considered potentially surplus to requirements, though the club is reluctant to transfer him regardless of Mourinho\u2019s opinion.\u2019<\/p>\n

Chelsea have bid for Alvaro Carreras<\/p>\n

Sport has also reported Chelsea\u2019s interest in a third Madrid player \u2013 Alvaro Carreras.<\/p>\n

Madrid signed Marc Cucurella from Chelsea earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

The Spain international is set to be the first-choice left-back for Madrid next season.<\/p>\n

This leaves Carreras\u2019s future in doubt, with the former Manchester United prospect having joined Madrid from Benfica only in the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n

According to Sport, Chelsea have made a bid of \u20ac25million (\u00a321.4m, $24.5m) for Carreras, but it \u2018hasn\u2019t been well received at the Bernabeu\u2019.<\/p>\n
