Balde currently has two years left on his contract with Barcelona, but his future at the club is uncertain. Early in the season, talks about renewing his contract were discussed, yet more recently he has been seen as a player who could be available for transfer this summer.

This situation is significant for Barcelona, as the left-back position is an area they need to address, and Balde’s potential departure would leave a gap to be filled. There has been no official confirmation of negotiations between the clubs, but the rumors underline Manchester United’s interest.
