Alejandro Balde, a 22-year-old full-back, is at the center of the latest news from FC Barcelona as he is once again being considered for a possible exit in the upcoming January transfer window after playing only 12 minutes this season. The club would be willing to entertain offers around 60 million euros, although the player wishes to stay.

Balde's stance has not changed since summer. The defender had opportunities to leave Barça, with clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Benfica showing interest, but he chose to stay in Spain to try to regain a key role.

Alejandro Balde's Limited Role under Hansi Flick

His situation with Hansi Flick is evident. Balde has only featured in one LaLiga match against Racing at the Spotify Camp Nou, amassing just 12 minutes in the first seven matchdays.

He didn't play in the other six league games and was absent in the Champions League match against Feyenoord. Moreover, he wasn't even included in the squad against Elche.

Competition explains part of this scenario. Xavi Espart and Joao Cancelo are currently preferred over Balde for the left-back position, limiting his playing time.

Nevertheless, the defender believes he can still change his situation. With 169 appearances for the first team and a contract until June 2028, he intends to finish the season at Barça and seize any opportunities that may arise.

FC Barcelona Considering Balde's Sale in January

According to Marca, FC Barcelona's stance differs. The sporting direction was open to offers during the summer and is willing to listen to offers again once the winter transfer market opens. Reports suggest that Balde may have already agreed to leave Barça.

The speculated price for Balde is around 60 million euros. If a deal at that value is struck, the club could earn a significant sum and free up wage space for other moves in January.

The club also believes that the left-back position is adequately covered. Cancelo and Espart's presence lessens the sporting impact of a potential departure, aligning with the strategy employed by Hansi Flick at the start of the season.

During the last transfer window, there was interest from England and Portugal. Manchester United, Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Benfica were monitoring the player, yet no deal materialized as Balde opted to remain in Barcelona.

Balde's Desire to Keep Competing in Spain

The main obstacle to a transfer remains the player's willingness. Alejandro Balde is currently not considering leaving Spain and believes that he will eventually get more playing time as the season progresses.

In the coming months, the club will monitor if his stance changes. The disparity between his current limited involvement, just 12 minutes, and the role he aspires to play could be decisive before January.

There is currently no active negotiation for his sale. The next steps will rely on incoming offers and, most importantly, on the decision of Alejandro Balde: FC Barcelona is open to considering a January sale but will depend on the player altering the plan he maintained throughout the summer.
