"A 22-year-old representing the team of the Spanish champion Jordi Alba caught the eye," announces "El Mundo Deportivo." It is believed that the Catalan club became interested in acquiring a left-back and center-back player after it became clear that they would not be able to attract Jose Angel representing "Sporting." The latter, it seems, was tempted by a more lucrative offer from "Roma" and should be moving to the Italian capital in the near future. According to unofficial information, this summer "Barcelona" should part ways with Maxwell, who plays on the left side of defense, so Josep Guardiola would like to find a replacement for him. Initially, the most talked-about name in media rumors was indeed Angel's, but the Catalan team failed to reach an agreement with the Asturias team due to the player's price. Later, among the possible candidates to join the ranks of the Spanish champions, the name of the "Villarreal" veteran Joan Capdevila was mentioned, but this information did not materialize, although the defender himself stated that he had not even thought about moving to "Barcelona." Now, according to "El Mundo Deportivo," the Catalan Alba, representing "Valencia," has seriously piqued Barcelona's interest. It is claimed that the Spanish champions are willing to offer 5 million euros for the player."
