"Earlier in the week, reports emerged claiming that FC Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde had emerged as a target for Manchester United. The La Masia graduate has had an up-and-down season so far, with his form varying between good and bad, especially on the defensive side of things. But he remains an integral part of manager Hansi Flick's setup at the Catalan club."
"Now, according to journalist Ben Jacobs on The United Stand, Balde's name has indeed come up in discussions at Manchester United, with director Christopher Vivell putting forth the Spaniard as an option. However, it is unlikely to lead to anything meaningful as the 22-year-old left-back only wants to stay at Barcelona. So far, there have been no direct talks between the two clubs for Balde, nor have there been any discussions between United and the Spaniard's camp."
Manchester United identified Alejandro Balde as a potential target, with director Christopher Vivell proposing him as an option. Balde wants to remain at Barcelona and does not intend to leave in the summer. No direct talks have taken place between Barcelona and Manchester United, and there have been no discussions between United and Balde's representatives. Manchester United already have Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu as left-back options. Balde has played 32 matches this season, registered three assists, and is under contract with Barcelona until 2028. Balde's form has varied defensively, but he remains integral to Hansi Flick's setup.
