FC Barcelona officially announced the renewal of the young defender of the subsidiary, Alejandro Balde, until June 30, 2024, with a rescission clause of 500 million euros to scare away possible ‘moscones’. At the signing ceremony were the president Joan Laporta, the sports vice president, Rafael Yuste, the manager responsible for grassroots football, Joan Soler, and the director of grassroots football, José Ramón Alexamko.
In the club they have great trust placed in this 17-year-old boy who since 2011 plays in Blaugrana youth football. In fact, in the technical direction they consider him the most serious alternative in the quarry to replace Jordi Alba on the left wing. In fact, Balde has taken a step forward this season by being one of the young people chosen by Ronald Koeman to start the preseason with the first team, coming to play as a starter in the first friendly of the course.
The transfer of Junior Firpo to Leeds opens the doors for Balde to think that he could have minutes this season in the first team, although in the technical direction it is considered that it has to be gradually entering and they do not want to burn it in any case, so it is not ruled out that the club ends up incorporating a left back this summer.
