Alejandro Balde has recently been linked with a move to Manchester United.
The 22‑year‑old is unlikely to feature regularly for Barcelona this season and is expected to depart in the summer transfer window.
Alejandro Balde could join Manchester United
The player and his agent, Jorge Mendes, recently met with Barcelona to discuss a possible exit. Jijantes have released footage (via SportWitness) showing Balde leaving the club after the meeting.
It remains uncertain whether Manchester United will pursue a signing now. The club seeks a younger alternative to Luke Shaw, and Balde fits that profile. His technical abilities suggest he could thrive in the Premier League and become a long‑term asset for the Red Devils.
Manchester United could benefit from adding quality to the squad, and a left‑back would be a prudent acquisition.
Balde would likely welcome the opportunity to join United, viewing it as a step up that could secure him regular playing time.
Barcelona may be willing to sell if the right offer arrives. United possess the financial resources to complete a deal, and it remains to be seen whether they will table a bid.
Balde could be a long‑term asset
Balde is a young player with considerable potential, and he is expected to develop further with coaching and experience. Should he adapt quickly to English football, he could become a valuable addition to Manchester United.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils have also been linked with defenders such as Jorge Salinas, Lewis Hall and Joaquín Seys. Securing a left‑back appears to be a priority, and it is still unclear which player they will ultimately target.
