Alejandro Balde’s lack of minutes so far this season for Barcelona has the left-back starting to think about a January exit from Camp Nou, according to Diario Sport.
The left-back was linked with a move away during the summer but stayed at Barca and was told by Hansi Flick that he needed to improve and be 100% committed.
Yet Balde has barely had a look-in this season and has seen Xavi Espart and Joao Cancelo battle for the left-back spot ahead of him.
The 22-year-old’s only game time came in the 7-2
win over Racing when he was handed the last 12 minutes of an emphatic win.
The report says that Balde has already spoken with his agent Jorge Mendes and a January exit is definitely on his mind as we head towards the winter window.
Barcelona were open to a sale in the summer and that stance reportedly hasn’t changed. Manchester United are once again being touted as a potential destination due to a shortage of left-backs at Old Trafford.
