Jordi Alba Wants To Be In Barcelona For The Rest Of His Life

JAKARTA - Barcelona will reportedly consider an incoming offer for left-back Jordi Alba. However, the Spain international insists he wants to stay at Camp Nou for the rest of his life.

This week, several reports circulating in Spain claimed that Barca was willing to open up to any club seeking Alba's services. Barca's financial situation is mired in making them have to listen to offers for any player.

It all started with Mundo Deportivo who stated that Barcelona would sign Valencia left-back Jose Luis Gaya. The defender is contracted to Los Che until 2023 but has yet to agree on a new deal.

The 26-year-old is not Barca's only target, the Spanish outlet said they would also sign Marcos Alonso from Chelsea.

The full-back's name has been on Barcelona's radar since January to replace Junior Firpo, but no transfer has taken place.

Alonso is not a regular at Stamford Bridge and is seen as a versatile option given he can play at left-back and center-back if needed.

This change at left-back would come as a bit of a surprise, especially considering Alba said earlier in the month that his intention was to finish his contract and stay at Barca for life.

Alba's latest comments also suggest that he has no intention of moving this summer.

"I have three years left on my contract and I feel capable of completing it," he told a press conference, reported by Football Espana, Tuesday, June 29.

"The club's decision is there, but my intention is to stay in Barcelona for the rest of my life."
