Barcelona will seek to restructure the contract of Jordi Alba this summer.
Sport says Barça will address the future of Alba in the coming weeks assuming that it is a delicate issue for a player who has won everything in a successful era.
The Blaugrana want to reduce the player’s salary and would open the door to a release, although they are also willing to study the ‘Umtiti formula’ by renewing him for one more year to spread his salary over more seasons and thus help reduce the salary limit for the next season.
Alba’s sporting situation is at its most delicate moment of his Barça career. The left-back had already assumed that he has lost his role as a starting player to Alex Balde, the club’s big bet for that side of the pitch, but now he has been completely ostracized.
Alba has not played since February 26th, coinciding with the defeat against Almeria, although the losses in defense may give him a chance from now on if Marcos Alonso has to continue playing at center back.
In any case, Barça is clear that he is not going to be a fundamental player for the future and he has one year left on his contract with a very high salary due to having deferred amounts.
