Alejandro Balde wants to leave Barça
Alejandro Balde has reportedly made a major decision about his future. According to Gerard Romero, the 22-year-old full-back wants to leave FC Barcelona, and his camp is already working on finding him a new club.
A decision following internal discussions
Alejandro Balde has often been linked with a move away from the club during recent transfer windows, but until now, none of these rumors have led to an actual transfer. This time, however, things appear different: the player has decided to leave after the latest round of discussions within the club and based on his own feelings.
His agent, Jorge Mendes, is now tasked with finding him a new team before the transfer window closes. His next destination remains unknown. Several clubs have been linked with the Spanish international in recent months, including Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Inter Milan. A move to the Premier League could be on the cards, but no destination has been prioritized yet.
A departure that would shake up Barça's hierarchy
Balde has played 168 matches with FC Barcelona, scoring three goals and providing 21 assists. His departure would leave a significant gap at left-back, especially given his attacking profile and experience despite his young age.
For potential suitors, the timing could actually work in their favor. If Mendes quickly confirms Balde’s firm intention to leave, several clubs could join the race. Manchester United, already interested in the player, is certainly a club to keep an eye on, but so far, no concrete offers have been reported. The next big question is whether Barça will agree to open the door to a transfer soon—and on what terms.
