Lionel Messi's reaction when he saw that Jordi Alba will make his debut with Inter Miami in a few hours

Lionel Messi already has another of his great partners at Inter Miami. The Florida franchise announced the signing of Jordi Alba a few days ago, but there was no news about it until this Monday, when the left-back made his appearance at the club's facilities to put himself under Gerardo Martino's orders for the first time in the United States .

The official account of Las Garzas published on social networks some images of the Spaniard during training and it was already known that he is available to play the match on August 2 against Orlando City (classic) for the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup in the DRV PNK Stadium. However, he hardly disputed the 90 minutes.

Now, Jordi knew how to be one of Messi's best undisputed partners in Barcelona. The Culé fans got tired of celebrating Rosario's goals after receiving delayed crosses from Alba and Leo always knew how to use the former Valencia in attack with his sharp runs into space. Now, both met again and posed next to Sergio Busquets with a big smile.

Jordi Alba did not sign as a franchise player

As is well known, the MLS only allows three soccer players without salary limit and the clubs usually save those places for world-class figures. As expected, Messi and Busquets occupy two of those places, but the third belongs to Josef Martínez. For this reason, Jordi Alba does not have a high contract and it is difficult for him to rise in category, since the board intends to take it from Josef to give it to Luis Suárez in 2024.
