„Barcelona“ could soon welcome another newcomer. Journalist Fabrizio Romano announces that „Barcelona“ is very close to acquiring Marcos Alonso after the latest negotiations with the „Chelsea“ team. The left-back has already reached an agreement with „Barca“ regarding personal terms. Currently, this transfer needs to be approved by the „aristocrats“ coach Thomas Tuchel, adds F. Romano. In the „Bar“ team, M. Alonso will form a left-back tandem with Jordi Alba. Catalonia was also interested in „Chelsea“ captain Cesar Azpilicueta, but this Spaniard wanted to resolve his future before the start of the season, so he immediately extended his contract with the „aristocrats“.
