The Celta de Vigo is about to secure the continuity of Marcos Alonso beyond the current season. The experienced defender from Madrid, who arrived on a free transfer last summer after ending his spell at FC Barcelona, initially signed for one year until June 2025. However, as reported by AS, his contract includes a clause that will automatically extend his deal for an additional season if he reaches a specific number of matches, something that seems very close to happening.

Since his unexpected debut at San Mamés against Athletic Club, where he replaced Óscar Mingueza due to injury in the early minutes, Alonso has established himself as a key figure in Celta's defense. He has started in the last seven games, and apart from a minor slip-up in Leganés, his performance has been impeccable, providing security, leadership, and quality to the backline of the team led by Claudio Giráldez.

The upcoming match of Celta against FC Barcelona at Balaídos will be special for Alonso, who wore the blaugrana shirt 45 times and won a La Liga title and a Spanish Super Cup.

The addition of the 33-year-old center-back, thanks to the involvement of figures like Iago Aspas and Giráldez himself, has been one of the club's major successes. In the coming days, almost certainly, his automatic renewal will be announced, ensuring the stability of a defensive line that Celta seeks to strengthen for the future.
