Reconstruction of Barça
It is a fact that Barça needs to rebuild from its foundations to the top. This implies that coach Xavi Hernández’s position is in danger, as is the situation of some players. It is necessary to make signings to strengthen the team, and in recent weeks names have emerged as possible additions for next summer.
However, it will also be necessary to sell or let players go, since not all of them fit into the team. Since Barça needs money and must comply with financial regulations, departures are even more important. For this reason, decisions have been made in this regard and the doors of the club have been opened for departures.
Marcos Alonso will sign for Atlético de Madrid
One of the confirmed departures is that of Marcos Alonso, who arrived at Barça as a substitute for Jordi Alba. However, after two seasons at a low level, he never managed to start, as other players surpassed him, including Alejandro Balde and Joao Cancelo. Marcos Alonso has been a background player and has not had a relevant role at any time. Since his contract ends at the end of this season, it has been decided not to renew him and look for a new destination.
The Madrid left back has found a new club in Atlético de Madrid, where he can play an important role. At 33 years old, Marcos Alonso will sign one last contract before thinking about a possible retirement. Atlético de Madrid, with its assured presence in the Champions League, is the best option to continue competing at the highest level.
Marcos Alonso, a versatile player who can play both on the wing and in the center of defense, will be able to enjoy elite football in one of the most outstanding teams in the League. He will take the place of Mario Hermoso, who will also leave Atlético at the end of his contract.
