Sport last night all but confirmed that Marcos Alonso is going to join Barcelona from Chelsea.
The left back has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp all summer, but Chelsea have been working on bringing in players of their own before they green lit Alonso’s departure.
Now their deals are done, the former Fiorentina left back can complete his transfer. Personal terms have been agreed for some time, and one would imagine the rough shape of the deal between the two clubs has been in place for some time, so everything can move quickly now.
Alonso has been a cult hit at Chelsea, but the arrival of Ben Chilwell last summer and now Marc Cucurella from Brighton has pushed him down the pecking order.
He will bring a dynamic attacking threat to Barcelona’s left hand side, and it’s easy to see him being a big hit in La Liga.
Another player who will be 32 soon.
This fcb reeks of desperation. The pressure on them to win something this season will be huge after all these pawn future for now moves.
I will enjoy watching them sink into bankruptcy. There are at least 5 better clubs than them at the moment, and winning it all will be difficult with this aging team, if not impossible.
How many aging players do they have currently? And that your expectations will never come to pass.
Why do you ask me when you know by yourself, neto, pique, alba, busquets, roberto, lewandowski, auba, brathwaite are past 30.
They lost to EL tier team last year.
With no CL in last 7 years (plenty of laughable humiliations though) ts not mine expectations that will “never come to pass”. If youre suggesting this team is CL champion material, you need to see a psychiatrist.
Calm down mc. What is the name of ur club first
My club? Like Im interested in your strawmen arguments. Stick to subject.
Whats your opinion on pawning future for “win CL now or else” which will be utterly impossible the way other top clubs have reinforced and there are at least five clubs ahead of barcelona?
