Manchester United are considering a loan deal for Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde in January. The Catalan club is open to parting with the 22-year-old and is now exploring options for his future.
According to TeamTalk, United’s scouts hold Balde in high regard. The club believes that he could bring much-needed dynamism and attacking threat to their left flank.
Even with his talent, Balde has recently seen his position at Hansi Flick’s side diminish, which is one reason Barcelona are willing to consider his departure.
During the summer, Balde was already on United's radar, and their interest remains strong. Reports indicate that representatives from the Manchester club have already talked about a potential loan in January.
For United, this would be an opportunity to bolster a problem position without incurring heavy financial commitments. Additionally, a loan spell would allow them to assess whether Balde fits into their plans moving forward.
Barcelona have also reached out to Sunderland, Everton, and Fulham to gauge their interest in the defender.
The Catalans are keen to find a new club for Balde and generate funds to reinforce their squad further. However, no concrete agreements have been confirmed yet.
The January transfer window could be pivotal for the Spanish player, with Manchester United remaining one of the leading contenders for his signature.
