Barcelona want Alonso to replace Alba

Spanish giants Barcelona are interested in replacing Jordi Alba with Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso.

According to The Guardian, Barcelona are eyeing up a move for Alonso after being impressed by his performances for Chelsea.

Alonso has scored eight goals since joining Chelsea at the start of last season, an impressive return from a wing-back.

The Spaniard’s only two goals this season both came in a win over Tottenham at Wembley in August, including a sublime free-kick from long-range.

The report claims that Barcelona are looking to replace Jordi Alba and that Alonso is the man they are looking at to take his spot.

Alonso joined Chelsea for £24m from Fiorentina in 2016, and it is likely that Chelsea would demand a big profit in order to let him leave the club.

The wing-back is a Real Madrid academy product, but the report claims that Barcelona are hoping they can persuade him with money.
