Atletico Madrid linked with Barcelona pair Roberto and Alonso

Atletico Madrid are being linked with Barcelona pair Sergi Roberto and Marcos Alonso.

The Daily Mail claims the veteran pair are wanted by Atletico for the January market.

Neither player has been a regular this season, with Alonso potentially facing surgery in the coming days.

Roberto remains club captain and only last week declared hopes of earning a new deal with Barca and eventually retiring with the Blaugrana.

Like Roberto, Alonso has shown a willingness to stay with Barca this season.
