Balde Set to Leave Barcelona

Journalist Gerard Romero has reported that Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde is close to departing the team during the transfer window, with several clubs interested in securing his services.

According to Romero, Baldé could be excluded from Barcelona's squad for tomorrow's match against Elche in the second round of La Liga, amid doubts surrounding his continued presence with the team.

Reports have confirmed that Manchester United has inquired about Alejandro Balde's situation, while the Spanish star has expressed his happiness at being at Barcelona.

Hans Flick, Barcelona's coach, spoke about Balde's situation before tomorrow's match against Elche: "He is a player with tremendous quality, and it is important for me to know if he is convinced of his ability to compete in his position. This is what I want to see from all my players; I need everyone to be fully ready and committed 100%."

Barcelona will not pressure the player to leave, as his decision will be crucial regarding whether he stays or not.
