La Masia graduate has been on Barcelona’s radar for quite some time, and the Catalan giants might bring him back to the Nou Camp in the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to reports around http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111, from Valencia.
The Spanish giants have been tracking the Valencian full-back for quite some time and with Eric Abidal growing old; Josep Guardiola is looking for replacements all around the globe.
It has been reported that the two parties have already agreed the personal terms; however, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 to decide the transfer fee for the highly-rated full-back.
Jordi Alba is currently performing brilliantly for the Mestalla-based outfit. While performing under their coach, Unai Emery, the Spanish youngster has managed to become an integral part of Valencia’s setup.
Most of the Spanish newspapers claim that the former Barcelona youth academy graduate will sign a new deal before moving to the Nou Camp.
Due to his highly-rated performances, Valencia will not let go of their priced asset easily, and they would want the Spanish youngster to either stay, or leave at a high price.
Currently, Jordi Alba’s release clause is too high for the Catalan giants, who are already going through a financial crisis after the signing for Cesc Fabregas and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 last season.
Therefore, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-c19110 Alba too expensive to afford, the Mestalla-based club will give him a new contract so his release clause can be changed. That way, Barcelona will be able to meet the new price tag given to the Spaniard, and bring him back to the Nou
Camp.
Barcelona have been slipping in goals this season. The Catalan giants have conceded a lot of goals while being away from home and one major reason is their ageing defence.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adriano-c3773 is not as solid as required by Josep Guardiola.
Therefore, Jordi Alba will bring two advantages to the club: first, the Spaniard is only 22 and he can play for the Catalan giants for years to come. Second, he is a solid full-back and since he has already played in La Masia, he knows how things go about
at the Nou Camp.
Hence, Jordi Abla’s signing will definitely be fruitful for the Catalan juggernauts.
