Atletico is interested in Barcelona defender Marcos Alonso and is ready to offer him a one-year contract, reports Footballtransfers.com. The current contract of the player with the Blaugrana is valid until the end of the current season.
According to the source, the club is inclined not to trigger the extension option. It is expected that the final decision will be made after the January transfer window closes. If Barcelona decide to keep the Spaniard, he will probably have to take a significant pay cut.
This season, Alonso has played six matches for Barcelona, spending a total of 240 minutes on the pitch. Head coach Xavi prefers to see Barcelona graduate Alejandro Balde at the position of left-back.
