Xavi jumps the gun announcing Barcelona's Alonso renewal

Before the Girona game, Xavi spoke to the media. In the press conference, he spoke about, among other things, Marcos Alonso.

The manager gave his backing for the club to renew his contract, as his current deal runs out in June 2023: "I'm really happy with him. He's settled in well and he's a fantastic person. He's got experience playing in different positions", he said.

All said and done. As soon as Xavi said these words, Barcelona got going and called Marcos Alonso to get him to sign his extension.

'Jigantes' posted a ideo of the defender leaving the Camp Nou. At that moment, the source explained, the footballer had just signed a new contract.

It is still yet to be seen how many seasons the Spaniard has signed for.The club wanted to offer him a one-year increase, but the player wanted two. The announcement could be made shortly.
