As reported earlier this week, Barcelona star Marcos Alonso will depart the club at the conclusion of the season.
There is a great deal of respect between the club and the player, and his limited playing time this season has led to a mutual agreement that parting ways is the best option for all parties involved.
Alonso’s contract with Barcelona expires this summer, and there will be no effort to prolong it.
The player is free to negotiate with other interested parties, and SER provides an important update on that front.
Marcos Alonso is likely to depart Barcelona and join the Rival Team after the season concludes
According to the Spanish daily, Marcos Alonso has agreed to join Barcelona rivals Atletico Madrid on a free transfer next summer.
There is a very significant likelihood that the youngster will stay in Spain and finish his career under Diego Simeone.
He joins a lengthy series of Catalan players who have moved to Madrid.
Some of the most noteworthy recent examples are Memphis Depay and Antoine Griezmann
With Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Girona securing three of the four UCL slots for next season, Atletico Madrid’s participation in the event is in peril
After all, they are battling Athletic Club for the final slot and are only two points ahead of the Basque team with eight games remaining
Los Rojiblancos will suffer greatly if they do not qualify for the coveted event, not only in terms of sport but also financially. Needless to say, their transfer plans are also contingent on this
With Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Girona securing three of the four UCL slots for next season, Atletico Madrid’s participation in the event is in peril.
After all, they are battling Athletic Club for the final slot and are only two points ahead of the Basque team with eight games remaining.
Los Rojiblancos will suffer greatly if they do not qualify for the coveted event, not only in terms of sport but also financially. Needless to say, their transfer plans are also contingent on this.
If Simeone’s team survives and advances in the competition, they will receive up to €40 million in television rights. That, combined with certain significant departures, might pave the path for large signings like Alonso.
