Manchester United Follows Several Barça Players Closely
The situation at Manchester United makes it clear that the problem lies within the team, which is unbalanced and needs a deep restructuring. This summer they will try to make many signings to strengthen the team and make a revolution.
In this regard, Manchester United has set their sights on several Barça players. According to various reports, players like Fermín López and Raphinha are on the English team's radar.
The Latest Player to Receive an Offer from the English
Besides Fermín and Raphinha, Manchester United is also interested in Alejandro Balde. According to the 'Madrid-Barcelona' portal, the left-back is one of the names on the English club's agenda to strengthen their defense this coming summer. Balde stands out for his speed, offensive capability, and defensive solidity, qualities that make him one of the full-backs Amorim likes the most.
United sees Alejandro Balde as the perfect full-back to strengthen their left flank, a position that has caused problems in recent years. Diogo Dalot usually plays there, who is a right-back by training and has difficulties adapting.
For Barça, He Is Untouchable
Despite Manchester United's interest, Barça considers Alejandro Balde untouchable. The young full-back is the undisputed starter in the scheme and is considered one of the club's most important assets. Balde has a contract until 2028, with a release clause of 1 billion that reflects the trust and value the club places on him.
From the Barça board, there is no intention to negotiate his departure under any circumstances, as for Barça, Balde represents the present and future of the left flank. Any attempt by Manchester United to sign him will be met with the club's firm refusal.
