Jordi Alba knows that it will be acting, at least, during the first part of the 2022-23. Xavi Hernández expects to have Marcos Alonso from the weekend and, in case of not attaining concretise the signing of the Madrilenian, the technician egarense trusts the youngster Alejandro Balde so that it do charge of the left band. It is as well as the '18' has become a piece transferible for the directive in the last hours of market.

In this sense, the journalist Gerard Romero filtered in his podcast 'Jijantes FC' that the Barça and the Inter of Milan would have reached an agreement for the cession of the side by a season. The group 'neroazzuro', next rival of the blaugranas in the phase of groups of the League of Champions, would do charge of 60% of the wage of the player of 33 years (11 million net euros), but still lacking the most important: the 'OK' of the side.

However, Romero ensures that this would not have produced , since the defender prefers to be still in the Barça and struggle for recovering the titularity, still when this could put in danger his presence in the eleven of Spain in the World-wide of Catar 2022. And it is that if the L'Hospitalet does not play with regularity in the next two months, the most likely is that Luis Enrique bend for putting to Marcos Alonso like titling in the appointment mundialista.

100 minutes in three league days for Alba

The 33-year-old player started in the league debut at the Spotify Camp Nou against Rayo Vallecano (0-0). That day he played 82 minutes where he left many doubts about his physical condition and, since then, he was sentenced to the bench. 18 minutes in San Sebastián against Real Sociedad (1-4) and no minute in Sunday's win against Valladolid (4-0) have made it clear that Xavi will not have the player from L'Hospitalet until his level improves.

However, the option of giving him to Inter Milan does not seem the most sensible, less if the arrival of Marcos Alonso does not materialize. Thinking of Alejandro Balde as the only alternative for the first part of 2022-23 seems like too risky a bet. Also, sending Jordi to a direct rival in the Champions League could be a serious mistake in such a complicated group with Bayern Munich and Viktoria Plzen. We will have to wait until Thursday to see what happens for the 'Alba case'.
