Following Lionel Messi's unveiling, Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas has announced the upcoming arrival of Barcelona's illustrious left-back, Jordi Alba.
Having bid adieu to Barca, the 34-year-old is on the verge of reuniting with former teammates Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets on Miami turf. Amid rumors of a potential move to Saudi Arabia, Mas has been able to steer Alba's heart towards the sunny shores of Miami.
He revealed to TyCSports reporters on Tuesday, a quote corroborated by Gaston Edul:
Alba has more than 300 appearances under the Catalan banner since joining the Camp Nou giants from Valencia in 2012. A stellar decade at Barcelona has burnished his football career with a multitude of trophies and accolades.
The Spanish full-back’s glittering trophy cabinet boasts six La Liga titles, five Copa del Reys, and a UEFA Champions League trophy, among other honors. Alba's prowess is not confined to club football alone. He has donned Spain's jersey 91 times, tasting victory at the European Championship in 2012.
Despite having a year left on his Barcelona contract, Alba has managed to orchestrate an early exit, and he has now cemented his move to Miami. In a few days, he is expected to show up in the sun-drenched fields of Fort Lauderdale. He will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Lionel Messi during training sessions.
On Tuesday (July 18), Messi himself initiated his first training session in Fort Lauderdale. He was accompanied by another former Barcelona associate and now Inter Miami colleague, Sergio Busquets. This trio's reunion promises a formidable team that could potentially dominate Major League Soccer.
