Inter Miami close in on transfer of Lionel Messi's ex-teammate as impact already felt

Lionel Messi could be reunited with Barcelona defender Jordi Alba, with the defender set to become a free agent this summer.

That's according to ESPN, who claim that Inter Miami have contacted the Spaniard over a potential move after it was announced that his time with the Catalan club would come to an end. Alba was originally contracted until 2024, but both parties agreed to end the deal prematurely.

The 34-year-old signed for Barcelona in 2012, spending nine seasons with Messi before the Argentine joined Paris Saint Germain in the summer of 2021. A mini-reunion could be on the cards in the south of Florida, with midfielder Sergio Busquets also heavily linked.
