Another legend leaves Barcelona as Jordi Alba takes after Sergio Busquets
Posted : 24 May 2023
After 11 trophy-filled years at Barcelona, Jordi Alba has announced that he will be leaving the team.
In 2012, the 34-year-old Valencia native signed from there and went on to establish himself as one of the top left backs of his time. During his stay at Catalunya, he celebrated six La Liga championships, five Copa del Reys, and a Champions League trophy among others.
However, Alba's time at Barca has come to an end after losing his spot to 19-year-old Alejandro Balde this season, signalling a generational shift to one of the most illustrious teams in the world this summer.
He announced his decision in a video that was uploaded to his social media accounts and looked back on his successful time with the team.
Additionally, Barça issued a formal statement saying goodbye to Alba, says:
"FC Barcelona and Jordi Alba have reached an agreement to terminate the player's contract with the club one year earlier than it was due to expire at the end of the 2023/24 season.
“FC Barcelona would like to publicly express its gratitude to Alba for his professionalism, commitment and dedication, and his ever-positive and friendly relationship with all members of the Barca family, and wishes him every fortune in the future. Barça will always be a home for you, Jordi."
