Barcelona HubBarcelona has made its decision on Alejandro Balde. The left-back is not for sale, despite interest from top European clubs like Inter Milan, Manchester United, and Manchester City.
What's happening with Alejandro Balde?
The 22-year-old academy product seemed to be on his way out, but the Barcelona board doesn't want him to leave, unless he himself takes the first step.
Barcelona is still shaping its squad. They've already signed Anthony Gordon and are planning to sign a top striker, with Julián Álvarez still the favorite.
What is Barcelona looking for in the market?
The board wants to increase the level of the current squad. They're looking for a center-back and also want to strengthen the full-back positions. For now, they're negotiating a permanent return for Joao Cancelo.
What's the status of the negotiations for Joao Cancelo?
The talks for Joao Cancelo are stalled, which would make it even harder for Alejandro Balde to leave. The left-back has two years left on his contract.
