OFFICIAL: Marcos Alonso will play at Barça until 2025

The wait finished. Xavi Hernández already has a relief of guarantees for Alejandro Balde for the left side. After several months of negotiations and of altibajos, the FC Barcelona and Chelsea have approached postures to concretise the traspaso of Marcos Alonso, in an operation that will link him with the Barcelona group during the next three seasons.

Although in principle it aimed that it went to go in in the operation of the sale of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Chelsea, finally and in front of the difficulties of the Barça, Marcos Alonso has terminated his agreement with the entity 'blue' to last hour. The Madrilenian has been the main aim of the technician for apuntalar the defence after the "no" of César Azpilicueta, the one who was another footballer that added integers to be headline by the contrary band.

This movement will serve to bring depth to the staff and create competition with Balde and Jordi Alba, since the trainer has suffered by the left-handed lane. During his first period in the bench, Xavi has had to do manoeuvres when the one of L'Hospitalet has ausentado, planting to other footballers in a position to which are not accustomed. It is thus that the signing of Marcos Alonso finishes being crucial for the aspirations blaugrana.

Although the pre-season of Balde has captivated to many, the true is that the one of Terrassa has bent all the places with talent of first level under the aim to compete by all the titles. The canterano has given destellos of quality but still has several points that improve, by what will contest his place with the ex Chelsea at least by this campaign.

Security and hierarchy

To his 31 years of age, the excanterano of the Real Madrid will land in the Spotify Camp Nou with the reason to balance the saga. His path in the elite of the European football do him a player with the necessary qualities to organise the defensive work of his mates, taking into account that Jules Koundé and Ronald Araújo will be headlines and have much less route.

Although Marcos Alonso does not characterise for being too swift, his strong roots in the good handle of the balloon and his constant arrivals to the rival area. Besides, the clean exit from the bottom is something that the Barcelona always has taken care, by what is a point for that has the son of the 'Pichón'.
