According to 90min, Barcelona has officially confirmed the departure of left-back Marcos Alonso, whose contract with the club has ended after two seasons.
Alonso joined Camp Nou in September 2022 on a free transfer from Chelsea, where he had a decorated career with titles including the Premier League, four FA Cups, the Champions League, and the Europa League. During his time at Barcelona, Alonso played nearly 50 matches, scoring three goals and adding a La Liga title in 2022/23 and the Spanish Super Cup in 2023 to his list of honors.
In their statement, Barcelona expressed gratitude for Alonso's dedication and wished him success in his future endeavors.
"Marcos Alonso is not to continue with FC Barcelona, as the Spanish defender's contract ends on June 30," the club stated. "FC Barcelona would like to place on record their appreciation for his commitment and dedication, and wish him all the best and every success in the future. The left-back leaves FC Barcelona after two seasons wearing blaugrana. He arrived from Chelsea in 2022 and played 45 games, scoring three goals."
Alonso's next career move remains uncertain, with speculation suggesting he may continue in La Liga, with Atletico Madrid among the potential suitors.
Meanwhile, another Barcelona player, Sergi Roberto, is also facing contract negotiations as his current deal also expires on June 30. Reports indicate that Barcelona has tabled a new offer for the versatile Spaniard, who has attracted interest from other clubs including Sevilla, Valencia, and Girona.
