As Atletico Madrid faces several departures, particularly in defense with Mario Hermoso and Stefan Savic certain to leave, while doubts also linger over the futures of Caglar Soyuncu and Reinildo Mandava, the club is on the verge of signing Marcos Alonso from Barcelona.
Alonso will leave Barcelona at the end of the season as a free agent, with the decision not to offer a new contract already made. Atletico has moved swiftly to secure his signature, and barring any last-minute hiccups, he will be Diego Simeone’s first signing in the transfer window, as reported by Ruben Uria.
Alonso is likely to arrive as an option for the left center-back position in Simeone’s 5-3-2 system, although he is unlikely to replace Mario Hermoso, as Atletico Madrid will likely seek to make a more substantial signing. Personalities like Robin Le Normand and Cristhian Mosquera have been scouted.
🚨🇪🇸 JUST IN: Marcos Alonso will become an Atlético Madrid player if nothing goes wrong.
