Barcelona's well-documented financial problems have led to speculation about a number of first-team players, one of which is Alejandro Balde, who has been linked to Manchester City in recent years.
However, Barcelona have no plans to part ways with their starting left-back, as confirmed by his agent Jorge Mendes (via MD).
“What I can say is that the best clubs in Europe wanted him before they signed a contract with Barcelona. Barcelona knew it, so there is no doubt in anyone's mind. These clubs knew about the difficult situation Barcelona was in and that they could take advantage of that situation, But Barcelona made the right decision not to sell him, despite important offers and there is no doubt about that among the players in his position, he is also number one.”
Balde has had a tough first half of the season, with the pressure on his shoulders increasing due to a number of poor performances. Despite this, Barcelona will continue to support him 100%.
