Marcos Alonso meets Xavi (Barcelona Twitter)

After a long saga, Marcos Alonso officially joined Barcelona yesterday (Friday). The left back who came from Chelsea, joined Hector Beirin and both held their debut training under Xavi. In fact, Alonso took part in training even before the official announcement of his signing and later it turned out, surprisingly, that his contract was only for one year. He is signed until the summer of 2023 with a release clause of €50 million, just like Beyrin, which may indicate that Barca will try to sign senior defenders next summer.

“I’m very happy and looking forward to getting started,” he said Alonso In his first interview as a Barca player, “The only team I thought about was Barca, it would be special to play in a team where my father was so successful. I remember he brought me to see games at the Camp Nou, so to be here now is great. I exchanged a few words with the coach (C Abi), I want to contribute from my experience.”

At the same time and after the closing of the transfer window and the massive purchase, Barca published the numbers for the upcoming season. Beirin received the number 2 shirt, Alonso the 17, Gabi remained number 30 and he is expected to upgrade to the 6 only after he signs the new contract, probably in January. In addition, after being absent recently, Pablo Toure, who arrived in the summer from Racing Santander, received the number 32 shirt.

In any case, Barça have already published the squad for tonight’s game at 22:00 against Sevilla in Ramon Sanchez Pijuan. Beirin and Alonso are left out and their debut will wait a little longer. Apart from that, Xavi has no absentees and in the Catalan newspaper ‘Sport’ they wrote in the headline this morning: “A test for the new Barca”. Frankie de Jong and Anso Fati may start in the lineup. The game, like all the Spanish league games, will be broadcast on channel ONE for HOT subscribers, yes subscribers, Cellcom TV and Partner TV.
