Marcos Alonso, Former Chelsea Star, Likely to Leave Barcelona After Two Disappointing Years and Potentially Make Premier League Comeback
The future of Marcos Alonso at Barcelona is uncertain, with reports indicating that the centre-back is set to leave the club after a frustrating two years. Despite having a contract that runs until June 2024, it seems that the Catalan giants are not looking to renew his contract, paving the way for a potential move back to the Premier League. With interest from other clubs, including Saudi Arabia and Manchester United, it seems that Alonso’s time at Barcelona may be coming to an end sooner rather than later. After struggling to make an impression under Barca boss Xavi Hernandez and facing limited playing time, the Spanish international is reportedly considering his options for the next step in his career.
Barcelona’s Marcos Alonso set to leave after frustrating stint with the club
After a disappointing two years with Barcelona, Marcos Alonso is reportedly on the lookout for a new club. The defender, who left Chelsea in 2022, has struggled to make an impact under Barca boss Xavi Hernandez and is now considering his options for the future.
With his contract set to expire in June 2024, Barcelona is not expected to offer him a renewal, opening the door for Alonso to explore other offers. According to reports, the 32-year-old has received interest from several clubs, including a potential move to Saudi Arabia as early as January.
Manchester United had previously shown interest in Alonso, especially after Luke Shaw’s injury, but it’s uncertain whether the Red Devils are still pursuing the left-back. Other offers from English clubs could also sway Alonso’s decision, potentially leading to a return to the Premier League.
Despite helping Barcelona win the La Liga title last season, Alonso’s playing time has been limited, and he has struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup. With a return to the Premier League in sight, Alonso will hope to recapture the success he experienced during his time at Chelsea, where he won the league, Champions League, and FA Cup.
