Jordi (34) was transferred from Valencia in 2012 and triumphed with 6 La Liga trophies, 5 Copa del Rey titles, and the Champions League gold medal in 2015.

Alba played 458 matches for Barca, as he was part of the Catalan club squad 29 times this year as they won the Spanish league.

The left-back is the 2^nd veteran that will leave the team in the summer after captain Sergio Busquets also shared that he will not stay.

Barcelona is trying to accommodate with the financial fair play rules, and Alba’s departure will help them with that.
