Scout report

Experienced headCreative Full-back

Jordi Alba is a 37-year-old full-back at Inter Miami, enjoying a standout season — 6 goals and 14 assists in 33 appearances, a Season grade of 20, top 41% of Major League Soccer full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.3, ranking 472nd of 513 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (91% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alba.

Judged on this season alone, Alba graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 7 clean sheets and 1.851 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 99th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 37 Alba is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 14 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.58 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.41 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.85 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.3, Alba carries the 99th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
