MARCOS ALONSO'S transfer to Barcelona has not gone to plan so far and he is reportedly close to facing the axe. <\/p>\n

Alonso joined the Catalan club in the summer of 2022 from Chelsea, but has failed to impress since making the move.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Alonso has started just two games in La Liga so far this season and was hooked at half time in one of them with 16-year-old Lamine Yamal coming on in his place.<\/p>\n

The full-back is contracted with Barca until the end of the season, but the club has the option to extend his deal by another year. <\/p>\n

However Spanish outlet Sport have reported that the European giants have all but made the decision to not extend Alonso's contract.<\/p>\n

It is said that no decision will be finalised until after the January transfer window closes. <\/p>\n

But that even if Barcelona wanted to keep hold of the former Blue he would have to take a substantial salary reduction.<\/p>\n

It is expected that Alonso will have a number of offers from elsewhere and a move away from the historic club is likely. <\/p>\n

The 32-year-old has fallen down manager Xavi's pecking order this term despite getting regular minutes last season.<\/p>\n

Academy product Alejandro Balde has instead been preferred in the left-back role by the Barca boss. <\/p>\n

Despite being given the captain's armband, spending his entire career at Barcelona and making over 350 appearances he is understood to have no future at the Nou Camp.<\/p>\n
