Barcelona have taken the first steps on an overdue path

There will be a meeting with Jordi Alba to discuss the improvement and extension of his contract. And it will be soon. Barça’s sports management have contacted the player’s people to start designing the road map that should end with the sporting and economic recognition that the player deserves.

The operation has been frozen for several months and has caused more than one moment of tension. Now it seems that FC Barcelona consider it appropriate to put one of the pending issues back on route.

The footballer, whose performance has been spectacular in recent months, has received various proposals from foreign clubs, although he has always expressed his willingness to extend his career as a Barca player while waiting for the club to present their proposal for the future.

The desire of Barca is none other than to put the renovation proposal back on track in the coming weeks and arrive with the negotiations sealed before the start of the decisive stretch of the season.

Now it remains to be seen whether the club's economic and sporting proposal will fulfill the pretensions of Jordi Alba, who until now has been patient and conciliatory in the face of the parsimony exhibited by the club.
