According to reports, Marcos Alonso is talking about joining Atletico Madrid in 2024 since his long-term future at Barcelona is unclear.
Atletico Madrid is reportedly interested in Marcos Alonso, according to a report by Football Transfers. In the summer transfer window of 2024, the 32-year-old will probably sign a free agency contract and depart Barcelona. He has started negotiations with Atletico Madrid about a transfer to the team next year because he wants to stay at the highest level.
Ever since joining Barcelona from Chelsea in the previous season, Marcos Alonso has proven to be a reliable player. Barcelona benefited when the West London team ended his contract and let him go as a free agent. The Spaniard has been the Catalan team’s dependable backup ever since.
However, the 32-year-old has never started for Barcelona as the starting lineup’s first choice; instead, he only plays when Alejandro Balde is rested by Xavi Hernandez. However, he has frequently played centre back, particularly when the Blaugrana were dealing with an injury problem. In the current campaign, Alonso has made just seven appearances and barely 300 minutes of playing time.
The Spanish defender, meanwhile, is approaching the last year of his deal with Barcelona. However, negotiations for a new contract have not yet begun, therefore he will most likely become a free agent and depart the Blaugrana. He does not want to leave this winter, although Premier League teams apparently want to sign him in January.
But in the summer transfer window of 2024, Alonso will probably sign a free agency contract and depart Barcelona. He may also stay in La Liga past the 2023–2024 season because Atletico Madrid is eager to sign him. According to the article, Los Rojiblancos and the seasoned full-back are talking about a 2024 transfer.
Both of Diego Simeone’s left backs are in the lineup, despite Reinildo Mandava’s chronic absence. Barcelona has lately expressed interest in Javi Galan, therefore his future at Civitas Metropolitano is unknown. Therefore, it is not unexpected that Atletico Madrid will want to add a left-back during a future transfer window.
As a result, Marcos Alonso has become a realistic target for the Colchoneros, who have begun negotiations with him over a Bosman move. Given that Barcelona is unwilling to sign him to a long-term deal, a free move to a major La Liga team appears to be imminent.
