Inter Miami announced its season-ending roster moves highlighted by Jordi Alba's contract option being exercised. He'll continue with the south Florida team through 2025.
The 35-year-old left back was pivotal in Miami's record-breaking MLS regular season and delivering the Supporters' Shield in 2024. In his first full season in the U.S., the former Barcelona man had 14 assists and four goals in 28 appearances during the regular season, adding one more of each in the team's brief MLS Cup playoffs run.
His performances earned him MLS All-Star status. He was also named to the 2024 MLS Best XI, joining his former Barça teammate, Lionel Messi, as the only Herons to be included.
Alba followed in the footsteps of Messi and countryman Sergio Busquets, signing with Inter Miami in July 2023 immediately becoming a key piece in Gerardo 'Tata' Martino's system. Luis Suárez joined the former Barça crew in Miami for the 2024 season and has since also gotten a contract extension.
Javier Mascherano, another former Blaugrana teammate will replace Martino on the touchline. Alba's contract option being picked up ensures the old Barça boys will be together in 2025, while also targeting a strong showing in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
