FC Barcelona continues to work on its squad. An agreement on the transfer of Marcos Alonso is apparently imminent with Chelsea.
FC Barcelona is apparently about to transfer full-back Marcos Alonso. This is reported by the Spanish newspaper Sport. Accordingly, the 31-year-old from Chelsea accepted the offer from the Catalans for a three-year contract. Only between the clubs themselves is an agreement still pending.
However, the negotiations here are also expected to be close to completion. Chelsea demand 13 million euros, Barca would like to pay less than ten million. In the coming week there should be another meeting between representatives of both clubs, which should lead to the final conclusion.
FC Barcelona: Marcos Alonso the wanted representative for Jordi Alba
In Alonso, Barca would have found the replacement left-back Jordi Alba they were looking for. The 33-year-old was unrivaled recently, and he was rarely granted a break. Nine-time Spain international Alonso joined Chelsea from Fiorentina in 2016 and has made 211 appearances for the Blues since then. After Ben Chilwell’s serious injury, Alonso was seeded under Thomas Tuchel last season.

However, the negotiations are apparently more complicated than in the Alonso case when it comes to Cesar Azpilicueta. There is said to be an agreement between the defender and Barca, but after the departures of Antonio Rüdiger and alleged Andreas Christensen, Chelsea appear to have no interest in letting Azpilicueta go. The Dane Christensen is also about to sign in Barcelona.
