Barcelona willing to part ways with local star for €55m: report

Barcelona could soon face a major decision regarding Alejandro Balde’s future, as recent Transfer reports suggest the Catalan club would consider selling the young left-back if they receive an offer of around €55 million.

Once a cornerstone of Barcelona’s plans, Balde’s form has noticeably dropped, raising questions over his long-term role at the club.

Due to the lack of competition, Balde has struggled to live up to expectations this season. His defensive performances, in particular, have been disappointing, causing Hansi Flick to drop him in favor of other options.

Despite the manager’s efforts to help him regain confidence and form, the player has yet to show the level of consistency necessary to cement his place in the starting line-up.

While he remains a player with potential, his current problems on the pitch and the lack of solid transfer interest during Flick’s first season in charge have led Barcelona to rethink his future.

If a suitable offer arrives, with PSG also around, it could open the way to a new chapter in Balde’s career and allow Barça to reinvest in its squad.

Barcelona looks for substitutes

Barcelona already has its sights set on a high-profile replacement. Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich’s dynamic Canadian full-back, is emerging as the main candidate to strengthen the left-back position.

Davies’ contract with Bayern expires in June 2025, and his reluctance to renew has opened the door for Barcelona to make a move. The club, backed by Joan Laporta and Deco, hopes to surpass Real Madrid in the race to sign the defender.

While several issues, particularly financial, continue to hamper Barcelona’s chances, this transfer could prove pivotal for Barcelona.

Not only would he provide a top-notch reinforcement in defense, but he would also allow the club to make a strategic financial move by selling Balde at a premium price.
