The 34-year-old recently announced his decision to leave Barca after eleven years.

Alba left Barcelona as a youngster to join Valencia, where he became one of the best full-backs in La Liga before returning to Barca in 2012.

Alba made 458 appearances for the Blaugrana, netting 27 goals and 99 assists.

He also made 91 appearances for Spain, bagging ten goals and 22 assists. He helped them win the 2012 European Championship.

Fans and pundits consider Alba one of the best left-backs in the game for his contributions to Barcelona and Spain.

However, with age catching up, Alejandro Balde usurped his position as the starting left-back.

Despite only starting 13 La Liga games, he scored two goals and created 14 big chances. He still has plenty to give but has not decided which club he will represent.

Speaking at the Sant Joan Despi training ground in Barcelona, Alba said (via the Guardian): “It is too soon.

“I am still getting used to this. It is not easy to go somewhere else.”

Alba reportedly has offers from Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.

However, links to join Major League Soccer club Inter Miami seem the most intriguing.

A move to the United States would see him link up with former teammate and close friend Lionel Messi.

The Argentine forward joined the MLS outfit after leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Miami also have plans to add Sergio Busquets, who also just left Barca.

Alba must now decide which offer to accept even though he will find it difficult after spending 18 years with Barca.
