Jordi Alba leaves FC Barcelona
Jordi Alba's time at Barca is indeed coming to an end after this season, as the parties have agreed to terminate the collaboration prematurely.
One of the biggest players of the last decade for FC Barcelona will be a thing of the past in the club this summer, as Jordi Alba and the club have chosen to terminate their current contract. Alba had a contract until 2024, but a season spent mostly on the bench has led both parties to agree to end the journey here. 34-year-old Alba thus has only 2 matches left in the Barcelona jersey, but he can look back on a great career at the Catalan powerhouse since his move there in 2012 from Valencia. Alba has been part of the great successes, and with 18 titles, he is a player fans will give a proper farewell as a thank you for his contributions to the club.
Jordi Alba’s all-time stats for Barcelona:
◎ 458 games
◎ 27 goals
◎ 99 assists
◎ 18 titles
Jordi Alba’s stats in La Liga 2022/23:
◎ 23 Games
◎ 2 Goals
◎ 3 Assists
◎ 1338 minutes played
◎ 36 chances created
◎ 23 tackles
◎ 91 duels
Alba has spent a considerable amount of time on the bench, so it makes sense for the collaboration to end here, allowing him to properly conclude his career. The prospect of playing time at Barcelona doesn't look better next season. What the future holds is uncertain, but an exotic adventure seems most realistic, even though several European clubs are reportedly ready to welcome the experienced left-back.
