Barcelona open to listening to offers for €60m-rated homegrown defender | OneFootball

The future of Alejandro Balde at Barcelona could become one of the talking points ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to a report from Matteo Moretto in MARCA, Barcelona are not completely ruling out the possibility of listening to offers for the young left-back if the right proposal arrives.

Balde has been a key figure in Barcelona’s defensive setup over the past few seasons, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young full-backs. 

However, the report suggests that internally, the club is not completely closing the door on a potential transfer.

Barcelona open doors

Moretto explained that Barcelona sporting director Deco has his own vision for the squad moving forward, and that Balde’s situation could be evaluated depending on future offers.

While discussing the matter, the journalist stated, “Deco has his ideas, and among them are doubts about Alejandro Balde’s future. 

“Barça would listen to offers. Balde is not an untouchable player.”

He also compared the situation to another high-profile young midfielder currently playing in Spain, suggesting that certain talented players may still be sold if the financial offer is strong enough.

“It’s like Camavinga at Real Madrid: Alejandro Balde could leave if a good offer comes in.”

There is interest

Interest in Balde is not something new. According to the same report, top European clubs have been monitoring the defender for some time. 

Moretto recalled that Paris Saint-Germain previously explored the possibility of signing the Spanish international a few years ago.

“A couple of years ago, PSG inquired about him.”

Recently, however, interest in the player has started to grow again. 

Both Manchester United and Inter Milan are believed to be monitoring the situation closely and could consider making an approach during the next transfer window.

According to market estimates from Transfermarkt, the defender currently holds a value of around €60 million. 

This means any club hoping to convince Barcelona to sell would therefore need to submit a very strong financial proposal.
