Manchester United do not rule out launching an offensive for Alejandro Balde in the summer

The Manchester United is in the midst of restructuring its sports project with the aim of returning to its glory days. Under the guidance of Rubén Amorim as coach, a series of movements have begun to remove assets that do not have space in the first team, such as Marcus Rashford (loaned to Aston Villa) and Antony (loaned to Real Betis), and to begin to incorporate young talents who are excelling in the international sports scene. This approach was evidenced in the last winter transfer window, when the club signed the 20-year-old Danish left-back, Patrick Dorgu, from US Lecce to strengthen the left flank.

Currently, Manchester United, despite strengthening its left flank with Dorgu and having players like Luke Shaw (injured) who can play in that position, seems interested in further strengthening that area with one of the best assets currently in that area of the field. According to reports on the website 'Fichajes.net', the 'Red Devils' have made the signing of Alejandro Balde a top priority.

According to this source, Manchester United would be willing to part ways with Alejandro Garnacho, whose sale could provide the necessary funds to secure the arrival of the left-back from FC Barcelona, who has positioned himself as one of the best in that position in this 2024-25 season. The Spanish-Dominican has proven to be a lethal full-back, especially in the offensive aspect, where in the Barça scheme he is given ample freedom to exploit his game on the left flank, providing depth and improving his defensive performance.

Will the Barcelona club consider selling their top left-back?

However, it remains to be seen whether FC Barcelona is willing to consider offers for Alejandro Balde, whose market value, according to Transfermarkt, is 50 million euros and whose contract with the Catalan club expires on June 30, 2028. This option seems complicated, as the Catalan club, unlike other positions like the midfield, does not have an abundance of assets in the left flank and cannot afford to lose a top-level and highly promising full-back like the Spanish-Dominican, especially without an immediate 'top' replacement.
