Club career edit
Born in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Catalonia, Alarcón started his footballing career at the age of four with amateur side Vista Alegre, where both of his parents played.[3] He joined Barcelona in 2018 from Espanyol, going on to make his debut for the Barcelona Atlètic side in 2021.[3][4] A ruptured ACL during the semi-final of the Copa de Campeones Juvenil de Fútbol saw him miss the entirety of the 2021–22 season.[3]
On 18 January 2023, having scored twelve goals for the club's Juvenil A team, he was named in the Barcelona senior squad for the Copa del Rey game against Ceuta the following day.[5][6] He made his professional debut as Barcelona went on to beat Ceuta 5–0, coming on as a substitute for Raphinha. Since then, Alarcon has played four more times for the Barcelona senior side and has been a reasonably consistent presence in Xavi’s matchday squad selections.[7]
International career edit
Alarcón has represented Spain at youth international level.[1]
Style of play edit
A forward comfortable using both feet and able to play anywhere across the front line, Alarcón is known for his pace and goal-scoring ability.[8][9]
