Alejandro Balde, a 22-year-old left-back for Barcelona, is now considering a January exit after losing prominence under Hansi Flick. Liverpool, Chelsea, and AC Milan are monitoring his situation, while the transfer market of PSG is preparing a €40 million offer for the player, as reported by 'AS'.

Alejandro Balde Losing Ground with Hansi Flick

Alejandro Balde's situation has shifted since the start of the summer. The full-back chose to stay at Barcelona after talking to Flick, who informed him that he would have to compete for minutes with João Cancelo and Xavi Espart.

The scenario hasn't improved with the beginning of the season. Balde has only played 12 minutes in official competitions, from his appearance against Racing de Santander, while Espart and Cancelo have had more involvement on the left flank.

This distribution of minutes has opened the door to a change in stance. Balde still aims to succeed at Barcelona, but he is now seriously considering an exit if his situation doesn't change over the next few weeks, as reported by 'Mundo Deportivo'.

The Spanish international's contract runs until June 30, 2028, with a release clause of €1 billion, as officially announced by the club when he renewed in 2023.

Liverpool, Chelsea, and PSG Monitoring Alejandro Balde

Liverpool maintains interest in Alejandro Balde for January. The English club had been among those following the full-back during the summer and is now reassessing his availability due to the lack of playing time at Barcelona.

Chelsea is also keeping an eye on the situation, while AC Milan is among the clubs that could try to take advantage of the player's scenario during the winter transfer market. None of these clubs has reportedly made a formal offer to Barcelona.

The most concrete proposal in recent reports comes from PSG. The French club is reportedly preparing a €40 million offer, with Luis Enrique interested in bringing Balde in to enhance the options at left-back.

Balde's market value currently stands at around €50 million, though recent reports on a possible Barcelona sale have mentioned figures close to €40 million.

Barcelona's Decision in January

Alejandro Balde's priority now is to regain minutes before making a final decision. In August, the player chose to stay at Barcelona despite offers received and asked Flick for opportunities to compete for a starting role.

The club had also not actively placed the full-back in the market: in June, Mundo Deportivo reported that they would only consider a departure if Balde himself received an offer.

The upcoming weeks will be crucial for Alejandro Balde. If Flick continues favoring Espart and Cancelo and his involvement remains limited, Liverpool, Chelsea, AC Milan, and PSG will have room to make offers in January, with the €40 million that PSG is preparing serving as one of the financial benchmarks for the deal.
