Barcelona for its rival in the ‘Red’
At the Camp Nou they continue to work tirelessly to put together the squad for next season. On this occasion, according to the expert journalist in transfers, Fabrizio Romano, the incorporation of Marcos Alonso is tested to compete on the left side with Jordi Alba. With the Chelsea player, it would thus be possible to increase internal competition in a position where it practically did not exist. Something that Xavi is sure to be happy about in order to avoid the much-feared injuries during the course.
According to the information, the agreement exists between the player and the azulgrana club. However, it would be necessary to close it with Chelsea, which is in a situation of renewing the squad given the mistrust that the departure of Russian president Roman Abramovich has generated in some. For its part, Barcelona hopes to receive a response from Azpilicueta, who has been probing his situation for a long time and likes the culé technical secretariat as well as Marcos Alonso.
Chelsea’s left back is currently concentrated with the Spanish team to face the matches corresponding to the Nations League. In the national team he shares a position with Jordi Alba, just as he would do if he finally ends up at Barcelona. The fact of having the World Cup ahead can influence the outcome of the operation, since Marcos Alonso needs minutes to confirm his presence at said event ahead of rivals such as Gayá from Valencia.
In this aspect, Barcelona hopes to close what would be a reinforcement of guarantees after several seasons without finishing to find a replacement for the good Jordi Alba. Recently, the first attempt was made with the arrival of Junior Firpo from Betis, a reinforcement that did not work out and ended up leaving the club transferred to Leeds in the Premier, and then they trusted in the possibility of changing bands to Sergiño Dest, who did not cause any harm sensation and a Sergi Roberto who has been injured all season. It would therefore finally be the solution to some problems that Xavi hopes will be solved for the good of the team’s defensive security.
