Jordi Alba has cited a decline in his performance as the driving force behind his departure from Barcelona this summer.Information Guide Nigeria

In the 2022/23 La Liga season, the 34-year-old athlete was limited to only 14 starts, a significant decrease from the 30 starts he had in the previous season. This was primarily due to the emergence of young talent Alejandro Balde, who shared playing time with the veteran player.

Ever since the announcement of his impending departure last month, Alba has been vocal about his desire to remain with the team. Despite having one more season left on his contract, the left-back and his team have come to a mutual agreement to terminate it. The player has expressed that he believes this to be the best course of action.JAMB Result
