Joan Laporta and Jordi Alba They met this Tuesday in a restaurant in Barcelona. A meal that was also attended by Alejandro Echevarría, brother-in-law of the president and a person of maximum confidence. The objective was to test the player for the future. Jordi has one year left on his contract and his record is very high considering that Balde has now become the team’s starting left-back.
Meeting with Laporta
The defender made it very clear to the president that His wish is to continue at Barcelona. He told him that he is prepared and motivated to continue one more season. Also, although this was not told, the player would be especially excited to continue if Leo Messi eventually returns to Barcelona. Both are united by a great friendship.
The president took good note of what was said, but at no time did he talk about a token reduction. At the time, this issue was not discussed in a previous meeting held a few days ago by the player’s representatives with Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff. But the mind of the club is to do something about it.

Possible token reduction
One of the options was to find a way out, but seeing the firmness of the player in not leaving it will be difficult for him to accept it. So the option will be a token downgrade. The proposal will surely take place in a future meeting that the player’s agents will hold again with the club. Meanwhile, everything is at a standstill.
Although this season Jordi Alba has played much less, when he has He has performed at a high level. Especially in what refers to the offensive aspect, being the defender in the League who has participated in the most goals taking into account the goals scored and the assists he has given. Jordi believes that next season he can compete for ownership, although at this moment it seems that Xavi is clear that the first on the list is now Balde.
