Jordi Alba focused on Valencia despite interest from Barcelona
The former Barcelona left back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111, has been under Barcelona’s radar for the past few months. With Eric Abidal not signing a new contract, the Catalan Giants definitely require the services of a permanent left back.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maxwell-c25051 look to be weak options for the Spanish Champions and they look to acquire the services of the Valencia full back Jordi Alba – who was once a part of the Barcelona youth system.
Despite the interest shown by Barcelona, Alba has recently said that he is focused on his current targets and his current team which is Valencia.
Currently, Barcelona have been defending brilliantly in all competitions. The goals they conceded against Athletic Bilbao came after a lot of games as Victor Valdes kept a record number of clean sheets in terms of minutes played.
Despite their defensive crises, Barcelona have been defending well in all competitions. However, Josep Guardiola would definitely feel the need of having another left back since Eric Abidal cannot play throughout the season. Moreover, Carles Puyol is also
not one hundred percent fit; therefore, Eric Abidal can often play in the centre back position alongside Gerard Pique.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 is not fit to perform throughout the season. Eric Abidal also has the same problems and this is his last season according to his contract and the Frenchman is not signing a new contract with the
Catalan club.
Barcelona desperately require the services of a left back as the Brazilian duo, Maxwell and Adriano are not the best choices available for the Catalan Giants. Therefore, Jordi Alba, a player who bred in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787, he will be the perfect man
for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
Despite Barcelona’s interest in the young Spaniard, Alba said:
"I am not thinking about that because I do not know whether those offers are true."
He further continued:
"I am very happy at Valencia and I am only thinking that things will go as well as they have gone or even better.”
Talking about his focus on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 he said:
"What I want is to play and get a bigger role on the field. I am only focused on Valencia."
Jordi Alba, despite being the number one transfer target for Barcelona, has claimed that he wants to focus on his current team. However, a move back to the Nou Camp will only help him become a better player and win more trophies.
