As per some reports published in a famous Spanish outlet, Lionel Messi has told Barcelona to sign Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso this season. The left-back has been one of the few important players in a rather lukewarm season for Antonio Conte’s side. He finished fifth in their defence of the Premier League title this season.
Alonso, who has an impressive attacking pedigree to go with his defensive qualities, is wanted by the Argentine at Camp Nou this season if some of the reports doing the rounds are true. While the Spain international has not given any indication of wanting to leave England this summer. Though he might be tempted to move to the La Liga to join Barcelona.
