January Loan Exit Considered
Barcelona Considering January Loan Move For Left-Back Alejandro Balde Amid Limited Playing Time
Anonymous
Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde could leave on loan in January if his limited playing time under Hansi Flick does not improve. The club is reportedly considering a temporary move to help the 22-year-old regain form and regular match experience before deciding on his longer-term future. Juventus are said to be monitoring his situation, while Manchester United have also been linked, though one report says Balde is not keen on a move to England. United are also considering Newcastle’s Lewis Hall, whom one report presents as a stronger fit because of his form and availability.
