Inter Miami continues to have additional personnel with the latest name to join the team in the American Professional Football League (MLS) is Jordi Alba. Specifically, the contract just signed by the Spanish defender is valid until December 31, 2024 with the option to extend for another year.
“There is no doubt that Jordi Alba is a complete player with bravery and experience. We hope Alba will help improve the quality of Inter Miami’s squad. At the same time, the arrival of Alba will help Inter Miami achieve its goals this season,” said Inter Miami sporting director Chris Henderson excitedly. Through this, Alba will reunite with former teammates at Barca such as Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets at Inter Miami.
In fact, after successfully recruiting Messi, Inter Miami has embarked on a plan to build a team around the Argentine star. The top priority that Inter Miami’s president David Beckham and his team are aiming for is Messi’s former teammates at Barca. This can be considered as the ambition to “Barcaify” Inter Miami from the former British player, Beckham and the team of leaders at the team with headquarters in Florida, USA. That’s also the reason why Becks pushed even further with his plan to recruit some of the most transcendent names who ever stood by Messi’s side when he was still at Barca.
After the signings of Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, the next two names in the effort to “Barca” Inter Miami are being targeted are Luis Suarez and Andres Iniesta. After leaving Barca, Andres Iniesta moved to Japan to play for Vissel Kobe in February 2018 with a salary of up to 25 million euros/year. Iniesta helped Vissel Kobe win the Emperor’s Cup in 2019 and the Japanese Super Cup in 2020. Iniesta recently said goodbye to Vissel Kobe and became a free agent. According to many sources, Inter Miami has urgently contacted Iniesta to entice this veteran midfielder in this year’s summer market. In the context of unemployment, the chance for Inter Miami to get a nod of approval from Iniesta is very high.
Along with contacting Iniesta, Inter Miami has conducted negotiations with the representative of the Uruguayan striker, Luis Suarez in the past time and has obtained initial positive results. It is important to know that Suarez has a current contract with Gremio valid until June 2024. Last season, Suarez scored 13 goals in 30 appearances for the Brazilian team. The bottom line at this point is that Inter Miami and Gremio have not yet found a common voice on Suarez’s contract release fee. If this knot is removed, Suarez will quickly become a rookie of Inter Miami.
With the service of former Barca players, the quality of Inter Miami’s squad will certainly improve markedly. In addition to raising the bar of expertise, this is also a powerful brand boost for Inter Miami.
Let’s wait and see how the old-fashioned tiqui-taca will reappear at Inter Miami, when they bring back all 5 former Barca players this summer.
