Milan and Roma monitor Balde as Barcelona set demands

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Alejandro Balde, Barcelona's left-back, remains on the radar of both AC Milan and Roma in the upcoming period.

Romano has explained that the player's agent, Jorge Méndez, previously offered Balde to AC Milan and several Italian clubs during the last summer transfer window.

FC Barcelona previously requested a fee between €50 million and €60 million for the permanent transfer of the player, which could pose a challenge for interested clubs.

Romano has indicated that the loan option will not be low-cost either, as Alejandro Balde earns an annual salary of around €5.5 million, keeping his future under scrutiny as the upcoming transfer windows approach.
