Barcelona player "rescinds contract" three days before final game of the La Liga season

Barcelona still have one more game to play before the season is done but one of their players has already rescinded their contract, reports claim.

The Blaugrana lifted the La Liga title, their 27th and first since 2018/19, at the Nou Camp last week following a 3-0 win over Mallorca.

Xavi Hernandez's side will look to end the domestic season with a 29th win and one that would see them pass 90 points when they take on Celta Vigo on Sunday.

However, the Catalan side will be without one of their legendary players as according to Mundo Deportivo, Jordi Alba has already cut ties with the club.

The Spain left-back, along with captain Sergio Busquets, received an emotional send-off during the Mallorca game as both will be leaving the club in the summer.

Alba, who is said to be waiving 60% of the salary for what he was set to earn in the final year of his Barca deal, had a special farewell event on Thursday.

It's claimed that prior to the presentation, the former Valencia man took a trip to Barca's offices annul his contract.

Xavi had not planned to have Alba or Busquets involved against struggling Celta as he wanted their final ever Barcelona bows to come at the Nou Camp.

Alba joined Barca as a youngster before signing for Valencia and later returning in a €14 million switch, going on to make 450 appearances and winning six La Liga titles and a Champions League.

The 34-year-old's contract was terminated a year early and though he's been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, Alba says he is yet to receive any offers.

“Today I have nothing with any club. I have not received any interest,” he told reporters, as per Barca Blaugranes.

“My interest was to stay in Barcelona, but I have made this decision because it was the best for both of us. I have no offers.”

Barca do have another game coming up after the season, as they take on club legend Andres Iniesta and Vissel Kobe over in Japan on 6 June.
