Barcelona eyeing big offers for Alejandro Balde
Barcelona are prepared to listen to any sizeable offers for Alejandro Balde during this summer’s transfer window due to their financial situation.
Balde has been with Barcelona since the age of eight, progressing through the various youth teams at Camp Nou before debuting for the first team in 2021.
The 20-year-old has since turned out for the senior side on 79 occasions, scoring twice and registering eight assists in the process.

Balde has made 28 appearances this season, although he has not featured since the La Liga clash with Real Betis on January 21, having undergone an operation on a hamstring injury.
The Spain international signed a new long-term deal at Barcelona in September 2023, with his current terms due to expire in June 2028.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are willing to listen to offers for the Spaniard during this summer’s transfer window.
The report claims that the La Liga champions will not actively attempt to sell him at the end of the season, but any sizeable bid would be seriously considered due to their financial situation.

Barcelona are allegedly not planning to hand a new contract to Marcos Alonso, who is set to leave on a free transfer this summer, but the club will not sign a direct replacement due to the emergence of Hector Fort.
The Catalan side have also allegedly put plans in place in the event that Balde does leave, with Sergi Cardona on option on a free transfer from Las Palmas.
