Inter Miami confirm Jordi Alba arrival as full-back reunites with Lionel Messi & Sergio Busquets.
Inter Miami have confirmed the signing of ex-Barcelona player Jordi Alba, reuniting him with Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets in Major League Soccer.
Following quickly on the heels of the agreements to capture Messi and Busquets, Inter has confirmed the signing of Alba. Although the team has the option to extend his contract for an additional year, he has signed a one-season deal.
Since Andres Iniesta is reportedly being courted by Miami to play in Major League Soccer, Alba might not be the only ex-Barcelona player to go.

Alba won the Champions League and La Liga six times while playing for Barcelona between 2012 and 2023, cementing his place in club history. He and Spain also won the 2012 Euros.
Alba will hope to be involved with Inter Miami’s pre-season
Sporting director Chris Henderson said: “Jordi is an accomplished, dynamic and experienced player that we’re excited to acquire to continue bolstering our squad. He has proven for over a decade that he is one of the best fullbacks in the sport due to both his defensive solidity and capacity to contribute in the attack. We know that he’ll help Inter Miami achieve the Club’s objectives this season and beyond.”
