Juventus 'hoping to sign Jordi Alba'

Juventus are reportedly still hopeful of convincing Barcelona defender Jordi Alba to move to Turin.

Alba will see his current deal with the Spanish champions expire in the summer of 2020.

The left-back has scored twice and provided nine assists in 24 appearances for Barcelona this term and has made 270 appearances for the Catalan giants in total since a 2012 move from Valencia.

In the latter stages of 2018, Alba admitted that he was 'disappointed with Barcelona' as they had still not offered him a new contract.

According to Calciomercato, Juventus are closely monitoring developments surrounding the Spaniard's future and the Serie A champions are keen on bringing him to Turin.

Manchester City and Manchester United have also previously been linked with moves for the 29-year-old, who has won four La Liga titles, four Copa del Rey crowns and one Champions League during his time at Camp Nou.
