An emerging talent at Barça
Alejandro Balde has been one of the great revelations at FC Barcelona in recent years. This young full-back, trained at La Masía, has shown his quality since he debuted in the Barça first team. His skill and talent did not go unnoticed, and he quickly earned a place in the starting lineup for both Barça and the Spanish National Team.
An obstacle in your path
However, his progress was interrupted by an injury suffered during a match against Athletic Club. Balde suffered a disinsertion of the biceps femoris tendon in his right leg last January, which required surgery. Faced with this situation, coach Xavi Hernández decided to cover his position with Joao Cancelo, a player who came to the team to solve the problems on the right side that Barça has had for years.
Recovery and uncertain future
Alejandro Balde is currently in the final stages of his recovery and is expected to be ready to begin pre-season with the Catalans. However, there are some doubts at the club about his return. Due to the nature of his position on the pitch, which requires changes of pace and speed, both the coaching staff and the board are wondering whether Balde will be able to return in full condition. Given this uncertainty, the possibility of considering a good offer from other clubs is not ruled out. The young full-back is one of the most sought-after players at present, especially in the Premier League, where the wing-back figure is highly valued.
Chelsea’s interest
One of the clubs that has shown interest in Alejandro Balde is Chelsea. The English team, which had a very satisfactory experience with Marc Cucurella, would be willing to incorporate a full-back from the Barça youth team to reinforce its opposing wing. Although Chelsea failed to qualify for European competition next season, they believe Balde would be a valuable acquisition for their rebuilding project under Enzo Maresca.
Bucket’s decision
Despite the interest from other clubs, Alejandro Balde has no intention of leaving FC Barcelona. The young full-back prefers to exhaust all his possibilities at the club and fight for a place in the team, even under the orders of the new coach, Hansi Flick. Although he is not guaranteed ownership, Balde is determined to prove his worth and contribute to the team’s success in Barcelona. At the moment, he is not considering the possibility of leaving the club.
