From the source

Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde as Andoni Iraola looks to strengthen his defensive options ahead of the January transfer window.

According to a report from Medium, the Reds are prepared to explore a deal for the Spanish international, whose future at the Catalan club has become increasingly uncertain following his reduced involvement under Hansi Flick.

The 23-year-old has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter this season, with competition from Joao Cancelo and other defensive options limiting his opportunities.
