Jordi Alba will no longer be FC Barcelona first-team player at the end of the 2022-2023 season. The player who had become second choice since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez, has made the decision not to continue wearing the FC Barcelona shirt and to look for a new adventure away from Camp Nou.
The Spanish defender will thus leave Barça after eleven seasons in the first team. The left-back arrived in the 2012-2013 season from Valencia to become a starter for more than a decade. Barcelona and the player will have to resolve the remaining season left on his contract.
As Busquets did in his day, it was Jordi Alba himself who decided to announce his departure with an emotional video posted on his Instagram account. He reviewed his best moments as a Barça player.
With the departure of Alba and Sergio Busquets, FC Barcelona has lost two of the representatives of a golden era in Barça’s history.
With the emergence of Alejandro Balde in the Barça first team and the passage of time, Jordi Alba had ceased to be a regular at left-back this season. He assumed his role well in recent months, but has decided to step aside at the end of the campaign.
