Alba decided to retire after discussing contract extension: Although he is still in good condition, this is the fairest decision

The 36-year-old Alba announced his contract extension with Inter Miami until 2027 in May this year, but unexpectedly announced his retirement at the end of this season along with Busquets earlier this week. On Friday local time, Alba was interviewed at the club and talked about his decision to retire.

"It is true that I renewed my contract with the club in May, but the conversation about this decision started very early. Although the time between May and now is not long, retiring is a decision I made after careful consideration, and I informed the club and teammates of this decision a few weeks ago. Obviously, I am still in good physical condition, but after weighing it up, I think this is the most honest and fair decision, and it is also a decision that I make alone. I am the same as anyone, and it may be possible in a day. Change your mind. "

Team coach Mascherano expressed that he was not surprised by Alba's decision: "The decision to retire does not have to be made until you are injured or in decline, but Alba is convinced of this decision. Obviously he knows that he can play for another year or two, but he is eager to retire and start a new life. This is completely understandable. This is a personal choice, and everyone has their own situation to face. It must be said that he made this choice very naturally. "
