"With the La Liga title secured, FC Barcelona will immediately shift their focus to planning for the summer as they intend to strengthen the squad significantly in the transfer window."
"Indeed, the Blaugrana are scouring all of Europe for potential reinforcements in the left-sided full-back position, which does raise questions about the future of the current options in the role."
"Alejandro Balde has lost his place in the starting XI to on-loan star Joao Cancelo, who the Catalans intend to sign permanently from Al-Hilal at the end of the season."
"Balde has attracted interest from the Premier League, where clubs like Manchester United and Aston Villa admire the Spaniard."
Barcelona have secured the La Liga title and will focus on summer squad planning. The club intends to strengthen multiple positions, including a new centre-forward and a top centre-back, with Robert Lewandowski potentially leaving. Barcelona are also searching Europe for a new left-back. The left-sided role is currently affected by Alejandro Balde losing his starting place to Joao Cancelo on loan, with Barcelona aiming to sign Cancelo permanently from Al-Hilal. Gerard Martin has established himself in central defense alongside Pau Cubarsi. Balde has not requested a departure, but Barcelona could consider offers given Premier League interest from Manchester United and Aston Villa. Links also include potential returns for Alejandro Grimaldo and Marc Cucurella, while it remains uncertain whether Barcelona will sign a new left-back or keep Balde and finalize Cancelo permanently.
