Alonso is on the radar of both Madrid clubs, who are willing to pay around £27m for him before the Spanish transfer window shuts at the end of the month.
But the 27-year-old is a key part of new boss Mauricio Sarri’s plans and the Blues are not willing to discuss selling him with no chance to bring in a replacement.
Alonso has three years left on his contract and is currently Sarri’s first choice left back, playing every minute of every game for him so far this season.

He has also been involved in more Premier League goals than any other defender since he joined Chelsea in September 2016, his winner against Arsenal being the 20th.

That has caught the eye of the two Spanish giants, who are looking for reinforcements at the back, but Alonso is understood to be happy at Chelsea and unlikely to try and force a transfer.
Alonso actually began his career at Real and was there at the same time current boss Julen Lopetegui was coaching the B team.
The former Spain coach now wants to be reunited with the Madrid-born defender, and put him on a list of targets at the start of the summer.
But Atletico are also in the market for a new left back as Filipe Luis is expected to join Paris St-Germain, and Alonso is their preferred replacement.
