Barcelona Star Balde Eyes Shock Exit After Just 12 Minutes of Action!
Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde is reportedly considering a January 2027 departure after struggling for playing time under manager Hansi Flick. The 22-year-old has reportedly featured for just 12 minutes this season, sitting behind Xavi Espart and João Cancelo.
For the Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde, the opening months of the 2026/27 season have reportedly been frustrating, with the 22-year-old left-back considering a possible departure during the January 2027 transfer window. According to a report from Diario Sport, Balde has already discussed the possibility of leaving Barcelona with his agent, Jorge Mendes. Balde has struggled to secure regular playing time under manager Hansi Flick.
The Spanish defender has reportedly accumulated just 12 minutes of action this season, finding himself behind Xavi Espart and João Cancelo in the competition for a place on the left side of Barcelona’s defence. The lack of opportunities appears to be raising questions about his long-term future at the Catalan club. Balde was previously linked with a transfer during the summer window but ultimately decided to remain at Barcelona and fight for his position. However, his situation could change when the winter transfer window opens in January 2027.
According to the report, the defender is beginning to consider a move away in search of more consistent first-team football. Manchester United are reportedly among the clubs monitoring Balde’s situation. The Premier League side attempted to sign the Spanish international during the summer but failed to complete a deal. With Balde still highly regarded across Europe, interest from other clubs could emerge if Barcelona’s limited use of the defender continues. Nevertheless, no transfer agreement has been confirmed, and his future remains uncertain.
