FC Barcelona have announced, on their official website www.fcbarcelona.com, that they have reached an agreement with Valencia CF for the transfer of Spanish full-back Jordi Alba. The fee is stated to be €14 million, and a five year contract will be signed by the player, subject to the completion of a medical examination next week. He is currently on national team duty with Spain, at the European Championships.
Jordi Alba is a product of Barcelona’s famed La Masia, but failed to gain a first team spot and departed for Cornella in 2005, from where he moved to Valencia in 2007.
Alba had long been linked with Barcelona as a replacement for Eric Abidal, and other clubs including Manchester United were said to be monitoring his availability.
