Barcelona Ties Jordi Alba With a New 5-Year Contract

DBasia.news –  Through the official Barcelona website, the club confirmed the new contract of the 29-year-old left-back Jordi Alba, who has been playing at Camp Nou since 2012.

“FC Barcelona and Jordi Alba have reached an agreement to extend their contract for the next five seasons, with a purchase clause of 500 million euros,” said a statement from Barcelona’s official website.

“Over the next few days, we will announce when the official new contract will be signed,” the statement continued.

Certainty ended the speculation of leaving the production of La Masia academy playing in the senior team with Cornella, Valencia B, Gimnastic, Valencia, before finally returning to Camp Nou seven years ago.

Alba has played 282 matches with Barcelona and scored a total of 14 goals. Within seven years of defending Barcelona, ​​Alba also successfully won 14 trophies, including four LaLiga titles and one Champions League. Alba also won the 2012 European Cup title with the Spanish national team.

What is most surprising about the contract is the purchase clause of 500 million euros or around Rp. 8 trillion. From the unreasonable price tag that can be seen, Barcelona certainly have no intention in selling him.

Jordi Alba is a modern left back with the ability to ride to help attack, while also helping defense which is his main task.

While helping in the attack, Alba is a loyal servant for Lionel Messi because he has incised 20 assists for La Pulga. As if they are both using telepathy when combined – Alba knows where Messi is and vice versa.

Barcelona now only need to look for players who want to coat Alba. As Lucas Digne has left for Everton because of his status, and it is not easy for Barca to look for players who want to fill that status.
