Manchester United Has Intensified Its Moves in the Transfer Market and Has Set Its Sights on Barça. The blaugrana club has received a significant offer of 50 million euros to acquire the services of one of the key pieces in Hansi Flick's starting eleven. The proposal has been directly rejected by Deco, the blaugrana's sporting director, who has made it clear that there is no intention to negotiate for this footballer.
The player in question is one of the regulars for Hansi Flick in the new sports project of Barça. His speed, offensive projection, and constant growth have made him one of the most valuable pieces of the culé squad. For this reason, the Catalan club has secured his future and doesn't contemplate his departure under any circumstances.
From Old Trafford, however, they are not giving up. According to sources close to the Red Devils, Manchester United is preparing a second offensive that will slightly improve the financial conditions of the first offer. The English club is determined to strengthen its left flank and believes that this player would fit perfectly into the play style Amorim intends to implement.
Barça Doesn't Negotiate and Flick Considers Him an Untouchable Piece
Barça's refusal has been resounding, Deco has communicated to both the player's entourage and the English club that offers for him will not be considered, regardless of the amount. The German coach of Barça, Hansi Flick, has been very clear since his arrival: he wants to build a competitive team around young, committed players with culé DNA.
This homegrown player fits perfectly into that profile, having closed the 2024/25 season with very outstanding numbers. He has played a total of 42 official matches, scoring 1 goal and providing 8 assists. These figures represent a clear growth compared to the previous season, in which he recorded 6 assists.
Door Slam to United: Renewed Until 2028 with Barça
The footballer, who recently renewed his contract until 2028, is focused on continuing to progress at Camp Nou. Despite the interest of several Premier League clubs, his entourage doesn't contemplate a change of scenery. He is comfortable in Barcelona and motivated by the confidence placed in him by the coaching staff.
This is Alejandro Balde, the 21-year-old left-back who is having his best season in the first team of the blaugrana. Last year he had an injury that did not allow him to perform at his best level, and now the best version of Balde is visible. For the blaugrana, he is untouchable, especially without clear alternatives in that position, a very important flank in the culé attack.
His ability to cover the entire left flank, join the attack, and defend reliably makes him indispensable for Flick. Additionally, his international projection has not gone unnoticed. He is a regular in the Spanish national team drafts and is emerging as one of the great hopes for the future. His progression is constant, and the club doesn't want to hinder that growth with a premature sale.
