Manchester United make contact over 22-year-old La Liga star as transfer talks gather pace

Alejandro Balde has been linked with a move away from Barcelona this summer.

Manchester United are interested in signing the Spanish left-back.

Alejandro Balde could join Manchester United

He has a contract with Barcelona until 2029, and his future there is uncertain. He might not be starting regularly for Barcelona this season, and it makes sense for him to move on.

On the other hand, Manchester United need more depth and quality in the left-back department. They are looking to bring in a long-term replacement for Luke Shaw. Manchester United have already been in contact with Balde’s agent, Jorge Mendes, according to SPORT.

They have enquired about the conditions to sign the 22-year-old player, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an acceptable offer. Convincing Balde to join the club will not be difficult for Manchester United. The defender will be attracted to the idea of playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. The opportunity to play regularly in the Premier League will be hard to turn down as well.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can agree on a deal with Barcelona.

Mundo Deportivo claims that Mendes has already helped talks with Barcelona regarding a move to Manchester United for his client. It remains to be seen whether all parties can agree.

Balde faces a big decision

Manchester United have returned to the Champions League, and they need more depth in the team. Players like they could prove to be very handy for them.

Meanwhile, the defender will look to sort out his long-term future and focus on his football. He will not want to sit on the bench at Barcelona this season.
