Barcelona Have Rejected All Offers For Defensive Prodigy...CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
During the 2021/22 season, Jordi Alba was quite impressive for Barcelona, contributing 10 assists and two goals to the league. He also contributed to one of the two goals that Barça scored, making him one of the few players to perform well in the Champions League group stages.
Therefore, no one anticipated him to be out of commission as quickly as he was when the season first began. After just one league match, Xavi switched to starting Alejandro Balde at left-back, giving Alba fewer than 20 minutes in each of the following two games.
This is even more stunning considering that Balde was rumored to leave the team this summer, perhaps on a loan. Gerard Romero claims that his importance has become so much since a strong preseason that Barcelona has turned down every bid for him this summer.
The club got a number of inquiries about the adolescent, and while they first considered them, they have since decided to retain him there.
Even though he has played in only two games, Balde has earned Xavi’s confidence. Although he has only contributed to one goal, the coaching staff has been sufficiently pleased by his defensive intent and amazing speed to keep him as the first choice.
In addition, Marcos Alonso, who is expected to join the Blaugrana after a swap-plus-cash deal with Chelsea including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, will likely play ahead of him.
Actually, Alba is the left-back for Barcelona whose future is currently in question. The club and Inter Milan had reportedly reached a preliminary agreement for the loan of the Spaniard, with the Italian powerhouses covering 60% of his wage, according to news reports from yesterday.
The player doesn’t seem eager to relocate, though. He is certain that he will quickly regain his position and then be selected to play for Spain in the World Cup.
