Jordi Alba on Lionel Messi’s potential return to Barcelona
The left back would love to be reunited with his close associate
We reported in SPORT a few days ago that the FC Barcelona dressing room senses the return of Leo Messi coming. The Argentine star, who has still not renewed his contract with PSG, is in contact with several of his former teammates and has left the possibility open in private conversations. They are all aware of the economic difficulties of carrying out the operation, but the option is on the table. And the current members of the Cule squad would be delighted if it were to happen.
One of the players who has missed Messi the most, both personally and in terms of football, is Jordi Alba. The left-back from L'Hospitalet formed a spectacular partnership with the Rosarino. Their extraordinary connection on the pitch helped both players to show their best side and forge a friendship. That is why, for the defender, who wants to honour his contract until 2024 and is not considering leaving the Spotify Camp Nou this summer, Leo's return would be the best possible news.
In an interview with 'The Athletic', Alba got stuck into the hypothetical return of Messi to Barça. He has claimed he does not know what will happen with the future of the Argentine and that his signing will not be easy in any case, but he has also made it very clear that, for him, it would be positive for Barca. "I don't know what will happen. It would be good for us, but it's difficult," said the full-back.
Jordi Alba also mentioned his best friend in the world of football, "Sergio Busquets", his current favourite player, "Pedri", and the best coach he has had in his career, "Luis Enrique".
