I gave a newspaper Miami HeraldSpanish left-back, Jordi Alba, will join American Inter Miami in the coming days after he reached an agreement with the club.
If this is indeed achieved, the American Football League will have succeeded in attracting three of the most famous football players, and they will all be back in the same team after producing great seasons together for the Spanish club Barcelona.
Alba, Spain’s current captain, returned to Barcelona in 2012 after three seasons at Valencia and will play alongside Messi until his departure to the Argentine in 2021.
Alba will join Messi and Sergio Busquets.
Alba, who made 459 appearances for Barcelona and won 17 titles, is set to join his old team-mates at Inter Miami on July 16, according to the newspaper.
Inter Miami will have to make some changes to their squad to accommodate Messi, as midfielder Rodolfo Pizarro is expected to leave the club in the coming days to make room for the Argentine star.
In an earlier report, Argentina’s Inter Miami coach Gerardo Martino opined that his compatriot Messi and veteran Spaniard Sergio Busquets will not be in Florida for a tour but rather to win titles.
“The United States and Miami are often referred to as vacation destinations, but that’s not true. They are here to compete,” Martino, who was appointed coach of Inter Miami a few days ago, told a press conference.
Inter Miami have lost their last seven matches in the local league and are in last place in the Eastern region.
