FC Barcelona Continues to Seek Reinforcements for the Left Wing. After Alphonso Davies's refusal to sign with the club, the sports management has begun to explore new options. In recent hours, a name has emerged that no one expected.
The Full-Back, with a Past at Real Madrid and Currently a Star at AC Milan, Has Entered Hansi Flick's Wishlist. His offensive profile and experience in Serie A make him a very attractive option to compete with Alejandro Balde.
Balde, Indisputable but with Shortcomings
Alejandro Balde has established himself as one of the most promising full-backs in Europe. His speed and offensive capability have been key for Barça, but his performance in the defensive aspect still raises doubts. His fragility in aerial play and lack of decisiveness in duels have led the club to consider reinforcing the position.
Despite the confidence in his progression, the coaching staff believes that the arrival of an experienced full-back would allow him to improve his level. Moreover, it would give the team a reliable alternative in high-demand matches.
Alphonso Davies's Frustrated Signing
Barça's Number One Target Was Alphonso Davies. The Canadian was Flick's priority to strengthen the left flank, but his recent renewal with Bayern Munich has definitively closed that door.
In this situation, the blaugrana board has had to move quickly and look for other options in the market. This is where the name of Theo Hernández has emerged.
Heading to Camp Nou?
The French Full-Back Has Been One of AC Milan's Best Players in Recent Seasons. His ability to attack and defend with intensity has made him a reference in Serie A. Additionally, his experience in elite football fits what Flick is looking for to strengthen the team.
Although His Past at Madrid Could Generate Controversy Among Fans, the Reality Is That Theo Has Grown as a Footballer Away from the White Club. Since his arrival at Milan, he has proven to be a top-level player and now could be ready for a new challenge in LaLiga.
AC Milan Could Be Open to Negotiating for Theo Hernández if an Interesting Offer Arrives. However, his signing will depend on several factors, including the future of Alejandro Balde.
The blaugrana youth player remains confident in his prominence in Flick's team and has no intention of leaving. If Barça decides to make a strong bid for Theo, the competition at left-back will be fierce.
For Now, the Market Remains Open and Barça Has Already Set Its Sights on Its New Target. Will There Be a Surprise at Camp Nou's Left-Back?
