On July 21, Beijing time, Miami International officially announced the joining of former Barca defender Alba, and the two sides signed a contract for 2 and a half years, and he will join forces again with his friends Messi and Busquets!

Alba, 34, played as a left-back and made his debut at La Masia before returning to Barca in the summer of 2012. In 11 years, he made 459 appearances for the team, contributing 27 goals and 99 assists, winning six La Liga titles, five Copa del Rey, four Spanish Super Cups, and one Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.

In addition, he made 93 appearances for Spain, recording 10 goals and 22 assists, winning the European Cup and the UEFA Nations League once each.

In the 2022-23 season, Alba, as Barca's third captain, made 29 appearances in all competitions, including only 19 starts, with two goals and six assists. His contract with Barca was due to expire in June 2024, but he was released a year early and became a free agent.

Previously, Alba's name had appeared in the Miami Internacional squad for the North American League Cup, and now that Miami Internacional has officially announced his arrival, he has also been able to reunite with Messi and Busquets. Former Barca stars Suarez and Andres Iniesta are also likely to join.
