Final negoticiations between Barca and Chelsea over Alonso

Marcos Alonso will be a Barcelona player. Radio Marca say that the Catalan club and Chelsea are speaking today to find a solution and get the transfer done and that Barcelona want to spend less than 10 million euros on the deal. The agreement with the player is done, it’s a contract for the next three seasons and he wants to come to Barcelona and not have to link up with the Blues in pre-season.

SPORT indicated this week that Alonso could be the third official signing after Kessie and Christensen There’s a good will on both sides and an agreement will likely come quickly. Barcelona need the cash from the second financial lever but it’s likely the London club will accept a deal with payment by the end of the month or August.

Alonso is the left back chosen by Xavi to provide competition to Jordi Alba. His profile is liked a lot, that of an experienced international who can perform straight away. Alonso has the nod from Tuchel to go. Azpilicueta’s case is more complex, with Chelsea wanting to keep him, but Xavi is pressing for him to arrive too.
