Barcelona reportedly have no plans to allow Marcos Alonso to leave the club before the end of the summer transfer window.
Last summer, the defender ended his six-year association with Chelsea to make the switch to Camp Nou on a free transfer.
Amid the club's financial issues, Alonso allegedly accepted a lower wage in comparison to the majority of his teammates in order to complete a move.
While the left-sided player was not regarded as a first-choice player, he still made 20 starts and 17 substitute outings in all competitions, ending the season with a La Liga winners' medal.
However, the 32-year-old is currently going through a period of uncertainty at the Catalan giants, a consequence of their struggles with regards to registering players with La Liga.
Despite his status during 2022-23, Alonso has been sacrificed for other players to be registered instead and is currently one of three still waiting to be eligible for domestic action.
As a result, it was claimed earlier this week that Alonso had been provided with the opportunity to return to the Premier League, Wolverhampton Wanderers said to be the club in question by a number of outlets.
Nevertheless, according to Sport, Barcelona have already informed Alonso that he will not be leaving the club before the September 1 deadline.
Head coach Xavi and club officials have allegedly told Alonso that he will be registered in the coming days, rather than Barcelona looking to cash in on his signature.
Although there are bigger names in the squad, Alonso's versatility and lower wages make him an ideal player for the squad at this moment in time.
Barcelona would also make minimal money if they decided to part ways, with Alonso having less than a year remaining on his existing contract.
The likelihood is that Alonso will continue to provide backup for Alex Balde at left-back, as well as offering a different option in the middle of the defence.
Barcelona have begun the season by collecting four points and posting two clean sheets from fixtures with Getafe and Cadiz respectively.
