Jordi Alba holding up Barcelona pursuit of Atletico Madrid fullback Theo Hernandez

Published on: 02 May 2017

Barcelona fullback Jordi Alba is holding up their pursuit of Atletico Madrid fullback Theo Hernandez.

Barcelona are chasing the youngster, currently on-loan at Alaves, but are reluctant to meet his €24 million buyout clause.

Instead, they're attempting to propose a swap, which would include Alba moving to Madrid.

However, Onda Cero says Alba is digging in his heels and refusing to be part of the deal. The Spain international is convinced he can still rescue his Barca career once Luis Enrique leaves.

And Alba has told friends, "I'm not leaving for Atletico or anyother club!"
