Juventus are reportedly interested in signing long-serving Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba next year.

Since joining the Catalan giants from Valencia in 2012, Alba has gone on to score 25 goals and provide 94 assists in 433 Barcelona appearances.

However, the 33-year-old has fallen behind summer signing Marcos Alonso and Alex Balde in the pecking order, which has resulted in only two starts in eight games this season.

With Alba struggling to force his way into Xavi's plans, according to Sport, Juventus could offer the defender a way out of the club.

The Italian side have identified Alba as a potential target as they look to strengthen the left side of their defence.

While Barcelona are open to offloading Alba to help reduce their wage bill, the player is believed to be keen to remain with the club until the end of his contract in 2024. body check tags ::
