The full picture

Alejandro Balde is considering leaving FC Barcelona this winter due to growing dissatisfaction with his playing situation under coach Hansi Flick, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 22-year-old left back is reportedly taking a critical look at his future at Barça. FC Bayern has been linked to Balde in the past as a potential successor to Davies. Balde was considered for the left side of defense at Bayern in 2024 and last summer.

FC Bayern ultimately decided against signing Balde in the past, first extending Davies' contract and then opting for Nathaniel Brown for approximately 55 million euros. The club currently has two world-class left-backs, Davies and Brown, as well as other alternatives like Laimer, Stanisic, Ito, and Tom Bischof. This makes a push for Balde not seem absolutely necessary at the moment.

If Balde does enter the transfer market, he is likely to attract interest from several top European clubs due to his speed, attacking instinct, and experience at the highest level. The 22-year-old is a promising long-term solution. However, there are currently no concrete indications of new talks or negotiations between FC Bayern and the player.
