A seismic shift is brewing on the transfer market as Catalan giants Barcelona prepare for a major reshuffle in their defensive lineup.
Details: According to FCBRAC1, the Blaugrana management is open to offers from other clubs for their 22-year-old left-back Alejandro Balde. Whether driven by financial constraints or tactical shifts, the club’s hierarchy is set to put their young academy product on the market.
In a proactive move, Barcelona has already made initial official inquiries regarding the transfer of Chelsea‘s defender Marc Cucurella, whom they see as their top target to fill the vacancy left by Balde. This season, the Spanish full-back has demonstrated his capabilities, featuring in 42 matches across all competitions and providing three assists. Transfermarkt currently values Balde at €55 million.
Barcelona has put right-back Jules Koundé up for transfer.
