Balde was about to paralyze the signing of Marcos Alonso

The summer of Alejandro Balde probably have been the best of a canterano of the FC Barcelona in this 2022. Without taking into account to Gavi, consolidated in the first team, the left side arrasó like the most stood out footballer of The Masia during the pre-season that headed Xavi Hernández, so much in Barcelona as in United States.

So much to the trainer culé, as to the Barça, has finished surprising him for well the level showed by the defender during the preparation of the course, so much so it forced to a change of planning. Although Marcos Alonso has finished arrived to the Camp Nou, as it was foreseen, his signing demoró more than the expecting in front of the good performance of Balde, that besides took out of the eleven to Jordi Alba, one of the captains of the club.

In front of the commitment of several months with Alonso, the Barça continued with the signing of the footballer, but understood that the need of a competitor for Alba already had it inside the club. The fault of opportunities of Balde at the end of the end of the past course or the little reference of the technical body on the canterano, has finished 'costing' in the club the signing of the player champion of Europe with Chelsea.

Although it would be by a subject of mass salarial, the Barça has agreed with Alonso an alone agreement by a season, something that can play in favour of the Barcelona club for next summer. To follow like this the level of Balde and the fall of Alba, in 2023 could have a radical change in this sector of the defence culé with the exit of at least one of the two veterans that right now has to disposal Xavi.

Season of casting

Marcos Alonso has to his favour, further of the subject futbolístico, his big behaviour with the Catalan club to the hour to add to the project. The carrilero gave all the eases for the operation and although it signed an agreement in the short term, his continuity next summer would be quite likely as long as it back it inside the field. Balde, by his part, does not have at all that 'lose' and will look for to take advantage of each opportunity that have with the first team, by what the bajón of level of Alba, his high index card and his distant relation with Xavi could solve the overbooking of this left band.
