From the source
Alejandro Balde’s days at Barcelona could be numbered as the defender continues to struggle to gain regular game-time under Hansi Flick. Balde has fallen behind the likes of Joao Cancelo, Xavi Espart and others in the pecking order and has failed to gain regular game-time even with the injuries to Espart, Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde.
This has led to question marks over Balde’s future, with Barcelona reportedly prepared to sell him for the right price in the upcoming January transfer window.
It wasn’t always like this for Balde, who started his career at La Masia in a promising manner. In a recent interview with SPORT, the Spaniard has talked about his early life at Barcelona as well as La Masia.
