Inter Miami has not yet announced the signing of former FC Barcelona defender Jordi Alba, but he appeared on the team’s official Leagues Cup roster that was released to the media at 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
Tournament organizers released the rosters of all 47 MLS and Liga MX teams, and Alba was listed on the Miami roster, wearing shirt No. 6. The Miami roster was later removed from the website, the only one of the 47 teams whose roster is missing.
Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas said Tuesday that Alba “should be signed (Tuesday)” and co-owner David Beckham mentioned Alba in an interview with the Miami Herald. “We have to be able to give Leo (Messi) and Sergio (Busquets) and Jordi the opportunity to ease into this because there is going to be some adjustment,” Beckham said.
