A seismic shift is brewing on the transfer market as Catalan giants Barcelona prepare for a major reshuffle in their defensive lineup.
Details: According to FCBRAC1, the Blaugrana management is open to offers from other clubs for their 22-year-old left-back Alejandro Balde.
Whether driven by financial constraints or tactical shifts, the club's hierarchy is set to put their young academy product on the market. The Catalans aren’t sitting idle: Barcelona has already made initial official inquiries regarding the transfer of Chelsea's defender Marc Cucurella, viewing him as their top target to fill the vacancy.
It’s worth noting that this season, the Spanish full-back has featured in 42 matches across all competitions, providing three assists. Transfermarkt currently values the player at €55 million.
Reminder: Barcelona has put right-back Jules Koundé up for transfer.
