Marcos Alonso’s statement after joining Barcelona revealed that the player only wanted Barcelona move.
“Now I am here at last. I’m very happy and looking forward to starting. The only team that was ever in my head was Barça. This is the next stage of my career and I can’t wait,” the left back said in quotes picked up by Barca Universal.
The Spaniard joined Barcelona from Chelsea in a bid involving former Arsenal captain Pierre-emerick Aubameyang moving back to the blue side of London.
The club now have a lot of good options at left back, from veteran Jordi Alba to youngster Balde, with Alonso providing a different style of play and a Premier League physicality which should help Barca compete in a different way when needed.
The defender was signed on a free transfer.
