FC Barcelona has met with the agents representing Jordi Alba to discuss the left-back’s future, according to a report in Catalonia. Alba has one more year left on his current contract, though it’s understood his salary is considered too high by the club.
There was no talk about a salary reduction, or about attempting to rescind the contract. Instead, the club said they would be prepared to listen to offers for Alba. Last summer, the Catalans reportedly agreed to a loan deal with Inter Milan, which the player rejected.
It’s understood that Alba has no problems taking on a backup role to Alejandro Balde, something that’s already happened this season.
