Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde will continue with the Catalan club next season. Despite interest from several English Premier League teams, notably Manchester United, the player has made clear he does not intend to leave Barcelona in the upcoming transfer window.
Balde is currently recovering from a physical injury, with coach Hans Flick expecting him back after the international break. The defender signed a five-year contract at the end of 2023, with two seasons remaining, and his market value is estimated at around 55 million euros.
Although selling Balde could be financially beneficial for the club, the management has decided to keep him, underlining their plan to hold on to key players to strengthen the squad.
Speculation about Balde’s transfer amid competition from Joao Cancelo for the left-back position has not changed the stance of either the player or the club. This reflects Barcelona’s confidence and stability in their squad decisions as they approach the decisive phase of the season.
