He won the Champions League and was Messi's best partner, now he's leaving Barcelona and fans are crying

Jordi Alba will not follow his career at Barcelona. The left-back confirmed that, despite having another year on his contract with the Catalan institution, he will not be a culé from next season. The former Valencia spent 12 seasons at the club after his arrival in 2012 in exchange for 14 million euros.

Alba's departure was confirmed this Wednesday by Fabrizio Romano, the transfer specialist. The loss of the winger adds to the already well-known departure of Sergio Busquets. Xavi Hernández loses two absolute leaders of the dressing room. Of the captains of the season, only Sergi Roberto remains, since the other was Gerard Piqué, who retired in the middle of the season.

The player lost his position this season and feels that he will not start again because what Alejandro Balde has done is impressive. The culé youth squad is shining in every game and his performance with the Barça shirt is getting better and better. In addition, he allows Barça to release a large part of the salary mass because his salary was very high.

Will he meet his old partner, Messi?

The Argentine star met a few weeks ago with him and with Busquets. The three of them are very close friends and could finish their career together. One of the possibilities that arose with Messi's trip to Arabia is that they would be arranging to continue his future in Arab football, who can financially take care of all three.
