Atletico Madrid is interested in Marcos Alonso, according to a story from Football Transfers. It’s likely that the 32-year-old will leave Barcelona for free in the summer of 2024. He wants to stay at the top level and has started talking with Atletico Madrid about a move for next year.
Since coming to Barcelona from Chelsea last year, Marcos Alonso has been a reliable player. The West London club broke his contract and let him leave as a free agent, which helped Barcelona’s case. It has been a reliable back-up figure for the Catalan outfit ever since.
Even though he is 32 years old, the Barcelona player has never been their first-choice starter. He only comes in when Xavi Hernandez rests Alejandro Alde. He has often played as a center-back, especially when the Barcelona team was dealing with an injury problem. As for the current season, Alonso has only played for 300 minutes in seven games so far.
At the same time, the Spanish back is now in the last year of his deal with Barcelona. As of now, talks about a new contract have not begun, which means he will most likely leave La Liga as a free agent. Premier League clubs are said to want to sign him in January, but he doesn’t want to leave this winter.
However, Alonso is expected to leave Barcelona as a free agent in the summer of 2024. Athletic Madrid wants to sign him, so he might stay in La Liga after the 2023–24 season. The story says that the veteran flack and Los Rojiᱱlancos are talking about a move in 2024.
Diego Simeone has two left-backs in his squad, but Reinaldo Mandava has been an assistant for a long time. At the same time, Javi Galan is likely to be fired from the Civitas Metropolitano because Barcelona is now interested in him. It’s not a surprise that Atletico Madrid might look for a left-back in a later transfer window.
The Colchoneros have started talking to Marcos Alonso about making an offer for him. Since Barcelona doesn’t want to sign him to a new deal, it looks like he will be able to join another big La Liga team for free.
