Alba inks Inter Miami extension to 2027
Former Spain international Jordi Alba has agreed a two-year contract extension with Inter Miami which will run through the 2027 Major League Soccer season, the club announced on Thursday.
The 36-year-old defender, who joined Miami in 2023 after an 11-year stint with Spanish giants Barcelona, has been a key figure in the club's success since his arrival.
"I'm happy to renew my contract because I have the desire to continue competing," Alba said in a statement.
"I've been very comfortable these past two years at the club, and I feel very loved by all the fans," he added.
"We have that desire to continue competing, to continue winning, and, hopefully, win as many titles as possible."
Alba helped Inter clinch MLS's Supporters Shield last season, with the club setting a single-season points record in the process.
In Miami he has linked up with former Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez, as well as Javier Mascherano, who is the club's head coach.
