Barcelona face further transfer woe as their signing of Marcos Alonso from Chelsea is reported to FIFA for fraud by fourth-division side Union Adarve, who claim they should have received £90,000 as part of the deal

Barcelona are facing more transfer woe after their signing of Marcos Alonso from Chelsea was reported to FIFA for fraud.

Alonso joined Barcelona in September last year, but fourth division side Union Adarve, who he represented as a youth player, are claiming that they should have received £91,000 (€103,000) as part of the deal.

According to AS, Union Adarve have evidence of the two clubs previously negotiating for Alonso.

They also claim that the deal was part of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's move from Barcelona to Chelsea.

Barcelona are reportedly unconcerned by the claims, with Alonso having reduced his salary significantly to join the club on a one-year deal.
