For years, Jordi Alba has been in charge of turning Barcelona’s left lane into a prominent avenue for the team. However, it is a reality that the historic Spanish winger has not enjoyed a break, because despite the search for a substitute inside or outside the club, the Catalans have not been successful in this task.
Now, with the arrival of Xavi to the institution, the veteran defender has taken a second wind and shows an outstanding level of play, which he had lost during the management of the Dutchman Ronald Koeman, for which, within the club, they consider that they can pause a bit the search for Jordi’s replacement.
The piece that the club likes the most to fulfill this task is Jose Gaya, whose contractual situation with Valencia benefits the Catalans, however, from the board they have calmly decided their interest in the Spanish national team. In Barcelona they prefer to resolve other pending issues in the squad before moving on for the orange player, such as the renewals of Gavi and Ronald Araujo, as well as paying more attention to other arrivals such as those of Haaland and the rain of free agents that the Catalans want.
