Lionel Messi to be joined by another ex-Barca teammate after Sergio Busquets at Inter Miami

Former Spain international Jordi Alba has signed for Inter Miami and will join up with former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi, with more new arrivals expected in the coming days, owner Jorge Mas said on Tuesday.

Messi has already been joined by Spanish midfielder Sergio Busquets, another former Barcelona player, but the club is looking to add some youth to the squad which is currently struggling in last place in the MLS.

34-year-old Alba, who has made 93 appearances for Spain, terminated his contract with Barcelona in May.

Left-back Alba won six Spanish league titles with Barca and was part of the team which won the 2015 Champions League.

Apart from Alba, the football world is abuzz that Inter Miami are likely to bring in another former Barcelona talent in the form of Luis Suarez, who plays for Brazilian club Gremio currently.

But Mas said that any attempt to sign the veteran Uruguayan and former Barca player, was limited by his contractual situation with Brazilian club Gremio.

'Luis Suarez is a Gremio player. He has a contract. We understand the close relationship that he has with Lionel, Busquets and Alba. They played together at Barcelona.'

But the Inter Miami owner denied any direct talks with the footballer or his club.

'I don't know how Luis Suarez can leave Gremio. But if he does we are free to talk to Luis and bring him to Inter Miami. That possibility would be there,' he said.
