English interest in Alba

Jordi Alba's agent claims that both Chelsea and Manchester City have made contact with Valencia.

Valencia full-back also in talks over new deal

Jordi Alba's agent claims that both Chelsea and Manchester City have made contact with Valencia. The highly-rated Spanish international has been strongly linked with Barcelona and Manchester United in recent months. It was even claimed last month that Alba and Barca had already reached agreement - but both the player, and both clubs, denied this. Now as well as Barca, his agent says Chelsea, City and possibly AC Milan have all been in contact. But he also revealed that Alba was in talks with Valencia about extending his current contract. "We are conducting negotiations for a contract extension and I cannot rule out that we will reach an agreement soon," Alba's agent Vicente Fores Cornejo told Tuttomercatoweb. "Barcelona, as well as Chelsea and Manchester City and maybe AC Milan, have had contacts with Valencia, but personally I'm just talking with Valencia."
