Barcelona's young star preparing for a move to a top English club?
Manchester United and Liverpool have entered an indirect battle for Barcelona's highly rated left-back Alejandro Balde, whose future at Camp Nou has been thrown into doubt.
Details: According to exclusive information from respected outlet TEAMtalk, the Blaugrana are ready to consider selling the 22-year-old Spain international as early as the winter transfer window.
Amid fierce competition for a place in the starting XI and his search for regular playing time, Balde could reassess his priorities and agree to a move to the Premier League. Manchester United are actively exploring ways to strengthen the left side of their defence, while Liverpool are also showing concrete interest in the player, who is valued at around £30 million.
Scouts from both English giants are keeping a close eye on the situation, hoping to make a move for the talented defender at the first sign that Barcelona are prepared to let him leave in January.
In the 2026/27 season, Balde has played just 12 minutes, coming on as a substitute in a La Liga match. Transfermarkt values the player at €50 million.
