Barcelona expects a quieter signing market. On the table, there are open fronts such as the possible sale of Memphis and uncertainty about the future of Busques in the short term, but certainly the operations closest to closing are two renewals by Barcelona tomorrow
The first of them is Alejandro Balde, the permanently excluded footballer whom the club wants to protect for the future. The second renewal that is being worked on is the renewal of another left-back like Marcos Alonso, a footballer who arrived in Barcelona last summer, but was forced to sign only until the summer of 2023 in light of the reality of Xavi’s revised salary.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Barcelona coach himself asked the board of directors of Joan Laporta to approach the renewal of the Real Madrid player, because although it is the signature that will bring him to the Catalan capital for less than five months, there is a possibility that the atmosphere will change without cost at the end of the season
Given that Marcos Alonso ended up being a boon for Xavi Hernandez, having him go for a free would be a huge loss. The player arrived to compete with Jordi Alba in the left-back position, but the number of injuries that occurred in the locker room made him settle in the pivot, and he performed at an extraordinary level.

With Marcos Alonso’s replacement being pivotal, it will be necessary to once again map out the roadmap for next season’s planning. We must remember that in June, Lenglet will return to Barcelona from his move to Tottenham. So will Umtiti, but it is the French who are invited to participate in the departure process once they return to the Catalan capital
In addition, if Marcos Alonso is able to cover two positions, it is not excluded that Barcelona will once again consider making room for Jordi Alba, the third of the leaders who can no longer be during the current season
