The left-back penned a one-year contract when he arrived, and there’s already been speculation Barca want to renew him for another couple of seasons.
Alonso has been asked about the future and says talks over a new deal have not happened yet but he wants to remain at the Camp Nou.
“Not yet. I’m very happy and what happens from now on depends on the club, but I’m going to fight to stay here and help the team,” he said.
Alonso also spoke about his family’s footballing history. His grandfather played for Real Madrid, while his father turned out for Barca and Alonso says he was always a culer.
“In my house we have always been from Barça and in the end it was the team that my father belonged to,” he said.
“And I am very happy to be here in the team of his life and hopefully it will be mine for a few years as well.”
The defender has made 11 appearances since signing for Barca this summer, playing at left-back and in central defense, but is certainly not a guaranteed starter.

Xavi has admitted that Ronald Araujo could go to the World Cup with Uruguay despite the fact he is still recovering from surgery.
Araujo has been out since September when he went under the knife after sustaining a thigh injury. It was originally thought he’d be out for three months and miss the World Cup.
Xavi says that Araujo could travel to Qatar with Uruguay in the hope that he could play some part if he recovers fully during the tournament.
“We have talked with Araujo about him being able to travel, we have talked with [Uruguay manager] Diego Alonso and it could be good for him to go accompany the team hoping that he recovers as soon as possible. If it’s a psychological issue to be with the group, then he should go.”
