Barcelona wants to get Alonso from Chelsea. At the same time, the Catalans see him as not a rival to Jordi Albe and Luke Dinu, but a replacement for the age-old Gerard Pique, says Goal.

Alonso has experience playing as a central defender in Fiorentina, but since the transition to Chelsea in the summer of 2016 played exclusively on the left.

As a result of this season, Marcos entered the symbolic team of the Premier League according to the version of the Professional Football Association.

In March, Alonso made his debut for the Spanish national team and now hopes to go to the 2018 World Cup.

Father Alonso played for Barcelona in the 80th centuries of the last century, but Marcos himself - a pupil of Real Madrid. For Real Madrid played his grandfather.
