Barcelona has reinforced its defensive options by signing Spain left back Jordi Alba from Valencia, the two clubs have confirmed, the espn.go.com reported.
The Catalan club said in a statement that the former Barcelona youth player will sign a five-year contract after passing a medical exam on Thursday.
Barcelona will pay its Spanish league rival $17.4 million for Alba. The move follows widespread reports that the one-time Manchester United target was set to sign a deal.
