Barcelona’s management has been trying to get rid of surplus players all summer to relieve the wage budget, but nobody expected them to reach for Jordi Alkba.
The veteran who has been a member of the Catalan club for a decade and participated in the greatest successes since then, is reportedly about to leave for the Inter team. Spanish media claim that the two clubs have agreed all the details, but there is still no confirmed answer from Alba that he wants to go to Serie A.
According to the information, Barcelona would participate with 60% in the salary of the experienced defender, and the rest belongs to Inter. This development of events came after Barca opened the possibility of bringing Marcos Alonso from Chelsea, after which, given Balde’s quality, Alba would be displaced as the third left back in the team. There is also the transfer of Bernardo Silva, so the leaders of the club insist on literally kicking Alba out. This season he would play as a loan player, and Inter will have the opportunity to buy the contract for 27 million euros next summer. Interestingly, Barcelona and Inter are in the same group in the Champions League, so Alba would return to Camp Nou this season.
In addition to Alba, today, on the last day of the transfer window, Aubameyang, Dest and Braithwaite are expected to leave Barca, and another unexpected transfer is not excluded.
