      According to Bild’s Christian Falk, the ex-Real Madrid left wing-back, 31, will put pen to paper on a contract until 2025.
      However, the two clubs are currently said to be negotiating the final details of the deal.

      It was reported last week Barca hoped to fly Alonso over from London to Catalonia by tomorrow.
      That would give him time to complete his medical, sign on the dotted line and train with his new team-mates this week.
      Xavi had already penciled in this Sunday’s clash away at Real Sociedad as Alonso’s potential debut.
      Although he has not featured this term, he has gone through a full pre-season with Chelsea so is fit and ready to go – and will compete with Jordi Alba for the left-back spot.

      And they’ve been given a huge boost by the inclusion of Chilwell, along with his first team counterparts Carney Chukwuemeka, Ethan Ampadu and Trevoh Chalobah, according to the Evening Standard.
      England ace Chilwell missed a large chunk of last season due to a knee injury sustained in the Blues’ Champions League clash with Juventus in December.
      But the 25-year-old was all smiles as he returned to pre-season training with the Chelsea squad this summer.
      However, Chilwell’s still lacking the match fitness required to play alongside his senior peers in the Premier League.

      So Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is letting the full-back get some much-needed game time under his belt with the club’s youngsters.
      The same goes for Chelsea new-boy Chukwuemeka who joined the club for £20million from Aston Villa in this transfer window.
      The 18-year-old’s yet to make his Blues Prem debut, so a run-out against the young Cottagers will keep him fresh.
      Fellow Blues starlet Ampadu has failed to break into Chelsea’s first team thus far but plans to change that like Chalobah did last term.

      Chalobah was a revelation for the Blues in the previous campaign.
      The youngster was an unused substitute, along with Chilwell, in the Blues’ fierce 2-2 draw against Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.
      The pair would’ve had a perfect view of coach Tuchel’s touchline spat with Spurs boss Antonio Conte after the contest.

      And they were expected to be joined in the development squad by Callum Hudson-Odoi.
      However, he’s on the brink of finalising a loan move away from Stamford Bridge, it was added.
      SunSport reported last week that Borussia Dortmund were leading the race to sign him, although the Standard claim Leicester and Southampton are also in contention. More

      It is understood that Barcelona would be willing to part ways with Aubameyang to raise funds in order to land Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva.

      In the video, the man who was with Rabiot said: “I am here with the great player Rabiot, of Juventus, now in England. So I wish you the best brother. Bye bye.”
      To which Rabiot responded: “Thank you. Bye.”
      Rabiot, 27, has been linked with a £15million move to Man United from Serie A side Juventus.
      And following United football director John Murtough’s visit to Turin to finalise the deal, it now appears to be all but complete.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Murtough jetted off to Italy last week to negotiate Rabiot’s contract details with his agent and mum Veronique.
      The talks reportedly went well, and now the video which has emerged today appears to show the fruits of that labour from the two parties.
      Man United were plunged deeper into crisis this week following the 4-0 humiliation against Brentford.
      The Red Devils were 4-0 down inside 35 minutes, the quickest they have ever conceded four goals in the Premier League era.

      United’s goal this window has been to try and recruit Frenkie De Jong, but this has thus far proved fruitless and instead United have opted to try and sign Rabiot.
      The deal for him has met backlash from fans and pundits alike, with ex-player Lou Macari openly questioning the transfer on United’s in-house channel MUTV.
      SunSport revealed Rabiot’s stats were worse than midfield counterparts Fred and Scott McTominay, so it’s clear to see why some might be disillusioned with the transfer. More

      There are also suitors on the continent, with Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen registering their interest.

      The Foxes are open to letting Tielemans leave if their valuation of the player is met this summer.
      But if that isn’t the case, Leicester are now prepared to keep him for the season and let him leave on a free at the end of the campaign, according to The Times.
      The club are keen for him to sign a new deal but the Belgian international has held off agreeing to fresh terms.
      Arsenal are believed to have shown the most interest in signing Tielemans, but are yet to formally approach Leicester with an offer.

      Leicester though will not be bullied by lowball offers and are prepared to keep Tielemans at the club if the right price isn’t met.
      Although that would in all likelihood see the midfielder leave for nothing next summer.
      It’s claimed Leicester are still expecting a bid before the transfer window slams shut on September 1.
      Reports in June suggested the Gunners had already agreed personal terms with the player.

      Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed last week that the club were yet to receive an offer for Tielemans.
      And the ex-Liverpool gaffer said the club will continue trying to tie him down to a new deal.
      Tielemans is one of eight players, including Jamie Vardy, who are out of contract at the end of the season.
      On Tielemans’ situation, Rodgers said: “It’s not ideal but it’s happened before — players have left here for free before.
      “He wouldn’t be the first one, but at this moment in time it’s about keeping an eye on the team and the squad, making sure they are ready.

      And this could come in the form of a move to Barcelona, who are now considering the Spaniard as a cheap option due to him being available on a free transfer, according to Mundo Deportivo.
      While Barcelona have activated a number of “economic levers” to bring players in this summer, departures remain a necessity.
      Among those earmarked to leave the club is full-back Sergino Dest, who Manchester United and Chelsea are targeting in a potential £17million move.
      Bellerin would represent a cost-effective and natural replacement for the Dutch-born American.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      Dest has struggled to live up to expectations at the Nou Camp following his move from Ajax in 2020.
      Therefore, Bellerin, who was on loan at Real Betis last season, could come into the Barca set-up to replace the outgoing Dest for a fraction of the price.
      It has also now emerged Bellerin wants Arsenal to TERMINATE his £110,000 per week contract so he can make a return to Spain
      Bellerin was one time a part of Barcelona’s youth academy, but left for Arsenal in 2011.

      For many years Bellerin looked set to be a star for the future, with his dazzling speed a deadly weapon for The Gunners across a number of campaigns.
      However, a cruciate ligament injury in 2019 saw Bellerin’s career stall until he was granted a loan move to Betis, where he made 32 appearances. More
