Alejandro Balde potentially leaving FC Barcelona in January
Alejandro Balde is reportedly considering a departure from FC Barcelona during the upcoming January transfer window. The 22-year-old Spanish left-back has seen a significant reduction in playing time under manager Hansi Flick, appearing for only twelve minutes in ten matches this season.
Agent Jorge Mendes is reportedly exploring various destinations for the player. AS Roma has emerged as a potential suitor, with interest in a loan deal that could include an option to buy. This structure would allow the Italian club to strengthen their left-back position without an immediate large investment, while Barcelona maintains the possibility of a significant sale in the summer.
Other clubs monitoring Balde’s situation include Juventus, Manchester United, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Benfica. While Barcelona has reportedly set a valuation for the player between 40 and 50 million euros, some interested parties are reportedly looking at lower offers or loan arrangements. The club's sporting department is reportedly open to a sale to fund reinforcements in other positions, such as left-footed center-back.
