The agent of Valencia fullback Jordi Alba has angrily rubbished reports of an agreement with Barcelona.
The player's agent Vicente Fores spoke out to categorically deny that his client was ready to move to Camp Nou.
"It is absolutely false, a complete lie and a terrible thing for someone to say that Jordi has signed a contract with Barcelona," he stated.
"They said that Jordi's current contract runs out at the end of this season when in actual fact there is another year to run on top of that with Valencia.
"That was followed with the claim that a deal was signed with Barca on March 8. It is just ridiculous. If we had done this then it would be considered to be illegal.""I am indignant that there was even the suggestion that there was a date put forward for when the contract had been signed.
