The left-back joined Bolton on 27 July 2010 and made his debut in a League Cup match against Southampton on 24 August. His first Premier League match was against Liverpool on 1 January 2011, when they lost 1-2 at Anfield. He spent two years at the club as a full-back before deciding to move to Italy after turning down a new contract offer from the English club.

Fiorentina (2013-2016)

Marcos signed a three-year deal with Fiorentina in May 2013, but things did not turn out as expected. He only made nine official appearances from May to December before leaving on loan to Sunderland.

Sunderland (2014, loan)

Chelsea (2016-date)

Did Chelsea buy Alonso? The Blues paid about $29.6 million for the left-back following his impressive record in Italy. The manager who bought Marcos Alonso was Antonio Conte, who had monitored his progress. As a result, he penned a five-year contract with the London-based side.

His first game for the club was against Leicester City in a League Cup match they won 4-2 in September. Since then, he became the preferred candidate for Conte's 3-4-3 system. He has also won numerous titles with the Blues.
