Former Spain international defender Jordi Alba has officially confirmed his move to Inter Miami and reunites with former Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets.

The Spain full-back, 34, has signed a contract to the end of the 2024 Major League Soccer season, with a club option for 2025.

Alba left Barca this summer after 11 years with the Spanish giants.

The one-time UEFA Euro winner, UEFA Champions League winner, UEFA Nations League winner, and six-time La Liga winner, is regarded as one of the world’s best left-backs.

Alba, who joined in 2012 from Valencia, helped Barcelona win six La Liga titles, five Copa del Rey trophies, and the Champions League in 2015. He has made 458 appearances for Barcelona and has contributed 19 goals and 91 assists.

It's the third major player signing for Inter Miami this summer. Messi announced on June 7 that he intends to join the club, and Miami announced a few weeks later the addition of Busquets.

The team also recently announced former FC Barcelona and Argentina national team manager Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino as its next head coach. Martino coached Barcelona in 2013-14.
