Barcelona Reportedly Open Contract Talks with Jordi Alba's Representatives

Barcelona have reportedly opened contract talks with the representatives of star left-back Jordi Alba, whose current deal at the club expires in June 2020.

Sport (h/t Football Espana) reported the club delayed discussions over a new deal for "economic reasons," and Alba, 29, is said to be seeking improved terms at the Camp Nou.

Alba's current contract has a release clause worth €150 million (£132.8 million), and it's unclear whether that figure would rise with a new agreement.
