Alejandro Balde is going through one of the most delicate moments since he consolidated himself in the first team of FC Barcelona. In the decisive phase of the season, the left-back has not been able to maintain the level that made him indisputable.

The Blaugrana team reaches this stretch after two consecutive setbacks: the Copa del Rey elimination against Atlético de Madrid and the defeat in La Liga against Girona. Hansi Flick spoke of a necessary "reset" to reactivate a team that cannot afford more stumbles in LaLiga.

In that internal analysis, the performance of Alejandro Balde has been one of the focal points. The defender struggled at the Metropolitano, where much of the opponent's danger originated from his side.

Alejandro Balde loses prominence at FC Barcelona

In the subsequent match in Girona, Flick surprised by opting for Gerard Martín at left-back. A decision that showed that Alejandro Balde is not going through his best moment. At 22 years old, the academy player continues to be considered strategic by FC Barcelona. His physical power, speed, and ability to cover the wing make him a differential profile.

However, this season has not shown continuity in his performance. In certain matches, his offensive influence has decreased, and defensively, he has raised doubts. The collective context has not helped either. The team has shown fragility at the back and a lack of assertiveness in key moments of LaLiga.

Nevertheless, the club maintains confidence in his projection. Balde has amassed 32 appearances and three assists this season, figures that reflect regularity, though not brilliance.

Manchester United Enters the Scene

While the player tries to regain his best form, MundoDeportivo hints at a growing interest from Manchester United. The Old Trafford club is considering making an offer close to 40 million euros.

The Manchester United project, now under the technical direction of Michael Carrick, aims to reinforce the full-back positions with dynamic and young profiles. Alejandro Balde fits into that mold.

The increased scrutiny at a time of doubts is not coincidental. In the current market, clubs seize any irregularity to explore opportunities.

A Strong Position at FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona maintains a solid position in any hypothetical negotiation. Balde is under contract until 2028 with a release clause of 1 billion euros. The Blaugrana entity does not need to sell and considers the full-back part of the medium and long-term project. His age and growth potential reinforce that idea.

In sporting terms, Flick knows that recovering the best version of Alejandro Balde is a priority. In a busy schedule, the team requires depth and speed on the wing. The German coach values his ability to stretch the field and create overloads. However, he also demands defensive concentration and competitive consistency.

Around the player, there is no talk of an immediate departure. The priority is to finish the season with good performances and re-establish himself in the starting XI. The interest from Manchester United confirms that, even in an inconsistent season, the market remains attentive to his progress. In elite football, young talent always attracts suitors.

The final stretch of LaLiga will be crucial. If Alejandro Balde responds on the field, doubts will dissipate, and the debate will lose steam.

For now, the full-back lives between the internal demands of FC Barcelona and the external gaze of the Premier League. The upcoming summer could clarify the situation, but currently, the club maintains confidence in his potential.
