Barcelona had this to say in regards to Alba's departure: “FC Barcelona would like to publicly express its gratitude to Alba for his professionalism, commitment and dedication, and his ever-positive and friendly relationship with all members of the Barça family, and wishes him every fortune in the future. Barça will always be a home for you, Jordi.”

He joins fellow Barca legends Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets in leaving the club this season. Football fans wait to see what will be his next career move.
