Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde feels that the club's hierarchy is actively trying to push him out. This insight comes from renowned insider Fabrizio Romano.
The 22-year-old Spaniard's future has come into question following a loss of trust from manager Hansi Flick. He wasn't even included in the squad for Barcelona's opening match of the season against Elche.
Balde would prefer to remain in Catalonia and fight for his place in the starting XI but is aware that the club is actively looking for options to sell him swiftly.
Manchester United have already held preliminary talks with the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, to assess potential transfer terms.
However, Barcelona are not prepared to let the defender go cheaply, valuing him at a minimum of €40 million.
This hefty price tag has already put off some clubs, including Benfica, from pursuing the deal. Nevertheless, a concrete offer from United could accelerate the transfer before the window closes.
