Marcos Alonso is one of Barcelona's main transfer targets, but if the club does not reach an agreement with Chelsea, they have a back-up ready. 'Mundo Deportivo' reports that the alternative to the Spaniard, is Oleksandr Zinchenko, left back at Manchester City.
Oleksandr Zinchenko has had a complicated few months. The war in his homeland, Ukraine, is still on his mind. Had it not been for Manchester City and his family stopping him, he would have gone back to fight.
Right now, Zinchenko is not thinking about his future, because the war started by Russia is all that he can think about. The Manchester City player has not stopped asking for the conflict to end on a daily basis.
With this in mind, another club has come calling for Zinchenko. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', Barca have him in mind if they are unable to persuade Chelsea to allow Marcos Alonso to leave.
The Ukrainian is under contract at City until 2024. The club would be willing to let him go, if the right offer came in.
Whatever the case, it all depends on Marcos Alonso. Barca will only try and get Zinchenko if the Spaniard stays at Stamford Bridge.
