Jordi Alba could leave Barca for Inter Milan
FC Barcelona could offload two sides this Thursday including Jordi Alba, at the club for ten years and close to joining Inter Milan. Right-back Sergino Dest is set to take him over to AC Milan.
After being very active in terms of arrivals, FC Barcelona could take advantage of the last day of the transfer window to reduce its workforce. A locker room executive could even pack his bags. Jordi Alba, left side at the club since 2012, would indeed be in the sights of Inter Milan.
Agreement according to some media, not according to others
According to journalist Gerard Romero, the two clubs have even already reached an agreement in principle with the payment of 40% of the salary by the Italian club. But nothing has been decided yet since the player, who has won 15 titles with Barça where he is under contract until 2024, would not have given his agreement for a departure.
Mundo Deportivo is also more cautious about the progress of negotiations by ensuring that Inter Milan only has an interest for the moment without taking action. Barça has already targeted Alba’s replacement in the event of departure since the arrival of Marcos Alonso (Chelsea) is expected this Thursday.
