What’s the rumor?
In case you didn’t know…
Alba’s contract expires in 2020 and the Catalan giants are yet to offer their full-back a new contract.
Amid the stalling of contract talks, United boss Mourinho has been showing great interest in the defender and the prospect of having him at Old Trafford to strengthen his defensive line.
The heart of the matter
The Red Devils have now been told that they can have the left-back at Old Trafford only if they pay his £113m release clause.
According to a report in Sport, Barcelona’s attitude to Alba’s potential move is: “Let them come and pay the clause [if they want him].”
The 29-year-old left-back has been in impressive form this season, scoring twice and bagging five assists in thirteen appearances for the Catalan side. He also provided an assist to first of the five goals scored in Barcelona’s El Clasico victory over Real Madrid.
