Manchester United and Inter interested in 40m deal for Barcelona's Alejandro Balde
"Alejandro Balde's season has hit a few bumps but there is a lot of interest from big-name teams in his transfer. After reports in England linked him with a move to Manchester United, fresh claims out of Italy say Inter are also watching the FC Barcelona full back ahead of the summer window. According to 365 Scores, Inter are considering whether to position themselves for a potential move."
"They already have Federico Dimarco, a highly-rated left-back, but with his contract running until 2027 and some uncertainty about what comes next, the Italian side are exploring alternatives. Balde is an appealing option: quick, direct, and still only 22. Hansi Flick has used Balde 32 times in all competitions this season, which tells you plenty about the trust he still has in him."
"At the same time, his form has dipped. The Copa del Rey semi final first leg against Atlético Madrid was rough. Giuliano Simeone found far too much space down that flank in the 4-0 defeat, and Balde was one of the names most discussed in the aftermath. A few days later in Montilivi, he started on the bench against Girona."
Alejandro Balde is attracting transfer interest from top clubs including Manchester United and Inter Milan ahead of the summer window. Inter are weighing whether to position themselves as they assess Federico Dimarco's future with a contract running to 2027. Balde offers pace and directness and remains only 22. Hansi Flick has used Balde 32 times in all competitions this season despite a recent dip in form. Defensive struggles in the Copa del Rey semi-final and a benching at Montilivi highlighted those concerns. Manchester United are reported to value Balde around €40 million. Balde is under contract until 2028 with a €1 billion release clause.
