Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Christopher Nkunku’s “Little Brother” interview!
Indisputable holder until last year, Jordi Alba is now relegated to the hierarchy of left-backs of Barça, Marcos Alonso and Alejandro Baldé being preferred to him. Not enough to discourage the former Valencia player according to Sport. If he is living through an unprecedented situation at the start of the season, he thinks that this episode will make him stronger, he who has never displayed such good physical conditions in the last five years.
His objective is therefore clear: to redouble his efforts and prove to Xavi that he can once again become the best in the team in this position. Announced in the sights of Inter Milan at the end of the transfer window, the Spanish international has every intention of going through with his contract, which ends in 2024.
Grimaldo in the sights of Barça?
It remains to be seen whether this will be enough in the eyes of his coach but also of the Barcelona leaders, who continue to scrutinize the market in this sector. Despite the arrival of Marcos Alonso this summer and the emergence of Alejandro Baldé, Nicolo Schira announces that the Blaugranas will still have an eye on the situation of their former player, Alejandro Grimaldo, who is coming to the end of his contract this summer with Benfica and who still has not found an agreement to extend.
Besides FC Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester City and Atlético Madrid would also be very attentive to the one who scored a sensational goal in the Champions League this year against Maccabi Haifa.
There is no agreement between Alex #Grimaldo and #Benfica as of now. His contract currently expires in June 2023 and he can leave as a free agent. #ManchesterCity, #Juventus, #Barca and #AtleticoMadrid have already shown interest in the left fullback. #transfers #MCFC #FCB

to summarize
Jordi Alba would still be fixed on his future while a former member of the house could come to succeed him. If he wants to prove to Xavi that he can become the best in the team again in his position, Alejandro Grimaldo would still be supervised.
