Jordi Alba, Inter Miami’s new player – He will be Lionel Messi’s teammate again

Jorge Mas, owner of the MLS group, confirmed the move. In addition to Messi, Sergio Busquets also arrived at Inter Miami this summer, so the backbone of the American group for the new season will be built from former Barcelona players.

Jordi Alba, 34, was left without a club after his contract with FC Barcelona expired at the end of last season.

Alba made 93 appearances for Spain’s first national team, winning the European Championship in 2012. The left-back also has six La Liga titles and won the Champions League with Barca in 2015.

On Tuesday, Messi and Busquets completed the first training session with the new Inter Miami team.
