FC Barcelona are hoping to conclude their summer transfer window of 2023 by bringing in certain quality reinforcements for specific positions in order to help create Xavi Hernandez’s ideal image of his Blaugrana squad that he has in mind considering his future plans for the side.
While the Catalan club continues to negotiate and advance operations, the major hurdles that stand in their way are the economic limitations currently plaguing Barcelona and restricting the freedom with which they can access the options in the market.
Consequently, the higher-ups of the club have realized the need for certain names to be cleared from the salary records in order to create a more accessible salary margin at FC Barcelona that would then allow them to incorporate new arrivals and register players without many difficulties.
While there remain those already well-established to leave the club such as French defender Clement Lenglet and American fullback Sergino Dest, journalist Pol Ballus of The Athletic reports that a potential additional candidate that the Catalans would be willing to let go of would be former Chelsea man Marcos Alonso.
Reported to have been one of those that Barcelona were not looking to actively sell earlier this summer, the latest update suggests that Barcelona would in actuality be willing to let go of the 32-year-old Spaniard if a good enough offer for him arrives.
Already among those left unregistered by FC Barcelona in the records of La Liga due to limited margins allowing them to register most of the players at the expense of a few, the Spanish defender has been left among them seeing as he is not essentially a starter within the team and mainly a rotation player to provide depth.
With the incorporation of Inigo Martinez in the team as well as the potential arrival of Joao Cancelo, the chances of Marcos Alonso to feature for Barcelona next season continue to decrease due to the sheer depth Barcelona could possess within the defensive zone by the end of the summer transfer window.
