July 18, (THEWILL) – Jordi Alba, the former Spain international defender, is on the verge of joining Inter Miami, as confirmed by team co-owner Jorge Mas.
Alba, who recently parted ways with Barcelona, is set to reunite with his former teammates, Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, at the Major League Soccer (MLS) club. Mas shared his excitement about the imminent signing, especially its significance in fortifying a squad currently ranked last in the league. With an illustrious career that includes six Spanish league titles and a 2015 Champions League triumph with Barcelona, Alba’s arrival is poised to make a substantial impact.
Speaking to reporters after the team’s training session on Tuesday, Mas said: “Jordi Alba will sign today.” His confirmation solidifies rumours that have been circulating in recent weeks regarding the veteran left-back’s move to Inter Miami. Alba’s addition to the roster signifies a major coup for the club in their ambition to improve and compete at a higher level within the MLS.
Mas also conveyed the club’s determination to further strengthen the team by acquiring more players while acknowledging the current low ranking of Inter Miami in the league. The signings of Alba, alongside Messi and Busquets, demonstrate a concerted effort to transform Inter Miami into a formidable force in the league.
The anticipated reunion of Barca stalwarts Alba, Messi and Busquets has generated considerable excitement among fans and pundits. Their reunion will mark a significant moment in Inter Miami’s history, as the trio previously enjoyed immense success together at Barcelona. With their first training session completed, all eyes are now on their potential debuts on Friday, against Mexico’s Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup, which is poised to be a spectacle that will captivate football enthusiasts worldwide.
