A page will turn at FC Barcelona this summer. After Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba will also leave the Catalan club.

The bomb has just been dropped by Gerard Romero and should be confirmed quickly by Barça. Under contract until June 2024, the experienced left-back Jordi Alba (34 years) will leave Barcelona this summer, one year before the end of his contract.

At Barça since 2012, the Spanish European champion will follow in the footsteps of his compatriot Sergio Busquets, who will also leave the club at the end of the season, at the end of his contract and after many years spent at the club.

Alba with Busquets and Messi in Saudi Arabia?

The departure of Jordi Alba will in any case allow Barça to free up a little more payroll and get closer to the requirements of La Liga to be able to recruit this summer and approve the contracts of players like Gavi or Ronald Araujo.

It remains to be seen if this departure of Jordi Alba will bring Lionel Messi closer to Barça or on the contrary to Saudi Arabia, where his two friends Busquets and Alba could sign this summer... Yesterday, a Catalan media announced that Jorge Messi, the father and agent of La Pulga, favored the huge offer from Saudi Arabia.
