“The Veterans Help Us"- Jordi Alba To Remain At Barca Until 2024

According to Relevo, Barcelona have decided to hang on to Jordi Alba until the end of his contract in 2024.

Barca changed their stance on Alba due to his commitment and work ethic after losing his place in the team to Alejandro Balde earlier in the season.

Alba has also been mentoring Balde since the youngster made his breakthrough.

“The veterans help us. Jordi Alba plays in my position and always has advice for me," Balde said to reporters earlier in December.

"He told me the other day about how the players are positioned differently for Spain.”

“When there are people in the same position, outsiders see it as a war, but it isn’t. It’s just healthy competition,” the left-back added.

The 19-year-old has featured in 16 games for Barcelona this season and also earned a World Cup call-up for Spain.
