Juventus monitoring Barcelona captain Jordi Alba, but are yet to make an approach

Barcelona veterans such as Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto have come under the limelight lately as they both face an uncertain future at the club.

Busquets is poised to leave Camp Nou when his contract expires at the end of the season. The same can be said for Roberto, too, even though there are talks of a potential contract renewal for both veterans.

But one team captain who has gone under the radar in recent weeks is Jordi Alba. The left-back initially had a poor start to the season, which in turn, allowed Alejandro Balde to make a rapid breakthrough into the first-team.

Since then, Alba has recovered relatively well and has continued to play a crucial role in the first team. But as far as his long-term future at Camp Nou is concerned, it looks rather bleak and according to Matteo Moretto, he has become a target for Juventus.

The Italian journalist suggests Alba is being closely monitored by the Italian giants. They have yet to make any official contacts, but it is apparent that they are keeping one eye on Alba’s situation at Barcelona, especially with his contract expiring in 2024.

There is no doubt that Juventus are in the market for reinforcements in the left-back department. Brazilian star Alex Sandro has struggled with form for a while now and despite the signing of Filip Kostic, the club are looking for a traditional option in the position.

That is where Jordi Alba comes into the fray. The Barcelona veteran is an established star who has featured in almost 450 competitive matches for the Catalans. He has played a key role in helping the club secure multiple league titles and one Champions League title.

This combination of experience and success makes Alba an ideal target for Juventus. However, the 33-year-old Spanish international has time and again made it clear that he wishes to see out his contract at the club, making an exit unlikely.
