Manchester City has it in their sights to bring in one of the most promising young players from Barcelona.

With the recent renewal of Alejandro Balde’s contract, FC Barcelona has ensured its defensive stability for the foreseeable future. Balde is a promising young player who has established himself as an essential component of the Catalan club. Balde is a product of La Masia, a renowned youth program, and he has just signed a deal that will keep him with the club until 2028. This paves the way for the teenager to solidify his position as an essential player both today and in the future of the squad.

The young left-back was the subject of interest from Manchester City, which is why the news of Balde’s contract came as a surprise. The renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that the Spanish team FC Barcelona has been contacted by the English club in an attempt to negotiate a move. On the other hand, Barcelona gave a resounding “no” in response. Even though the club is having financial challenges, this resolute and unwavering answer highlights how important Balde is to the team.

The Blaugrana did not engage in discussions, nor did they evaluate any offer that was made. The fact that Balde could not be moved was made very known by Barcelona from the very beginning. Even though Manchester City discussed the idea of trading players with Etihad, which was demonstrated by the fact that Joao Cancelo moved in on loan from Etihad, Balde did not end up being a part of the deal.

Alejandro Balde, who is only 19 years old, has established himself as an irreplaceable owner of the left wing for Barcelona. He demonstrated his flexibility by scoring one goal and giving seven assists throughout the course of 54 matches. Because of the importance that coach Xavi places on Balde’s role in the team, he has been given the number 3 shirt to wear for the first team this season.
