The bid from Manchester United was presented as a “last offer”, the answer from the soon-to-be-move-in Coump Nou was clear: Balde is not for sale.
The 20-year-old has returned to his best form after a season marked by varying performances and a serious injury. Under Flick, he has once again shown off his speed, offensive strength and improved defensive work. The German manager has full confidence in his potential and has made it clear that he sees him as part of the team’s future.
Barcelona refuses to sell Alejandro Balde
United, who need a long-term solution on the left wing, had decided to invest heavily in Balde despite recently signing Patrick Dorgu. Their aim was to secure a player with top-level experience and potential, but Barcelona’s rejection will force them to look for other options in the market.
Barcelona consider Balde a fundamental part of their project and are not willing to let him go unless they get an astronomical bid. With a valid contract and Flick’s full confidence, the left-back will continue in the blue-grey jersey as he establishes himself as one of the most promising full-backs in European football.
