Under contract with Barça until June 2024, Jordi Alba announced his departure from the Catalan club this summer.

It's official, Jordi Alba will leave Barça at the end of the season, <a href=/news/mercato-barca-after-busquets-jordi-alba-is-leaving-too>as it had filtered a few minutes ago in the Catalan press. Trained at FC Barcelona before revealing himself at Valencia, the 34-year-old Spanish left-back had returned to his training club in 2012, in the wake of his Euro win with Spain.

458 games, 26 goals and 19 titles later, Jordi Alba and Barça have agreed to end their collaboration, which was initially scheduled to run until June 2024. This departure will allow the Catalan club to reduce its wage bill after the departure of Sergio Busquets.

With the great season of the young Alejandro Balde (19 years), Barça already has the natural successor of Alba, who has not yet given any clue about his future but could go to Saudi Arabia, like his friends Busquets and Lionel Messi.
