Xavi has reportedly given the green light to hand Barcelona defender Marcos Alonso a two-year extension at the Camp Nou.
The left-back arrived in the summer from Chelsea, after terminating his contract with the Blues, and initially signed a one-year deal with the Catalan giants.
Alonso has gone on to make 12 appearances this season in all competitions for Barca and seems to be a useful squad member, playing at left-back and in central defense.
Xavi and Barca’s “sports management” are all happy for Alonso to be handed a renewal with talks set to take place after the World Cup, according to Mundo Deportivo.
