The January transfer window has now closed, leaving Chelsea to begin looking forward to the summer for their next round of recruitment.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.

Monday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:

Manchester United 'planning summer move for Erling Braut Haaland'

Manchester United are reportedly preparing a summer move for Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland.

The 20-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best young forwards in world football and has again been in impressive scoring form at club level this season, netting 27 times in 25 appearances.

A number of clubs, including Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona, are said to be determined to sign the Norway international, who will have a £68m release clause in his BVB contract next summer.

Dortmund's financial problems could see them sell Haaland in the upcoming market, with the German side facing the possibility of missing out on a spot in next season's Champions League.

United were strongly linked with the youngster before he moved to Signal Iduna Park from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020, and according to The Mirror, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are planning a summer bid, with the English club's head coach promised transfer funds by the owners.

Haaland has netted 17 times in 17 Bundesliga appearances this season, while he has also managed eight goals in five Champions League outings, including a double against Sevilla in the first leg of Dortmund's last-16 tie.

The forward previously worked under Red Devils boss Solskjaer at Molde.

Marcos Alonso 'wants to sign new Chelsea contract'

Marcos Alonso is reportedly open to penning a new contract with Chelsea, having been an important player for Thomas Tuchel following the manager's arrival at Stamford Bridge.

The Spaniard appeared to be on his way out of the Blues due to his struggles for action under Frank Lampard, with the 30-year-old only making three Premier League outings under the Englishman during the 2020-21 season.

Alonso has featured in five of Chelsea's six league games under Tuchel, though, and now looks to be ahead of Ben Chilwell in the pecking order for the left-sided wing-back position.

According to The Sun, the defender is keen to pen a new deal with the London giants as he appears to be an important part of the new manager's plans moving forward.

Alonso's existing deal in the capital is due to expire in June 2023, but the former Real Madrid youngster is said to be looking for an extension until the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

Chelsea are next in action against Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie on Tuesday night, with the clash due to take place in Romania.
