"Barcelona has no intention of selling Balde in the summer at this point. Reports of Aston Villa being ready to offer €50 million for the La Masia graduate are also not true."
"The coaching staff has told Balde that it is up to him to step up and earn back his starting position. The message has been clear - it is for Balde to decide whether he wants to be an elite full-back."
"Those at the club firmly believe that he has the qualities to reach the top, but want to see more ambition and effort from him in training sessions and matches."
FC Barcelona aims to enhance its squad during the summer transfer window by targeting a new striker, a left-footed centre-back, and a left-winger. To facilitate these acquisitions, the club needs to generate revenue through player sales. Alejandro Balde, a left-back, has been mentioned as a potential sale candidate due to losing his starting position to Joao Cancelo. However, reports of Aston Villa's €50 million offer for Balde are inaccurate, and the club intends to retain him unless a significant offer is made.
