Signs new deal with Celta
Alonso has agreed a new two-year contract with Celta Vigo, the club announced.
Analysis: Alonso's new deal keeps him at Celta Vigo through two more seasons as the club prepares for a second consecutive campaign in the UEFA Europa League. Since joining, he has become an important figure in Claudio Giraldez's system, valued for his versatility, his powerful shot, and his ability to anchor the defense as a senior leader both on and off the pitch. In his two seasons with Celta, Marcos has already made 76 official appearances and scored five goals. Furthermore, last season he was the outfield player with the most playing time in a team that is known for its rotation, accumulating 3,759 minutes across 43 official matches, statistics that reflect the confidence placed in a player who consistently delivers strong performances and character. Now in the latter stages of a long career that has included spells at some of Europe's biggest clubs, Alonso extends his run in Vigo with a squad aiming to build on back to back European qualifications.
Clears ban
Alonso has cleared his suspension and is an option moving forward.
Analysis: Alonso is no longer banned after an accumulation of yellow cards, set to play the final few matches of the season. The veteran defender is likely to return to the backline and give his club a bit more stability in the defense, starting in 27 of his 28 appearances this campaign while recording eight clean sheets.
