Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have reportedly identified Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde as their primary target for the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Parisian’s manager Luis Enrique is said to hold the 21-year-old in high regard and is advocating for his acquisition.
Balde, whose heritage traces back to Guinea-Bissau, has emerged as a key figure in Barcelona’s defense since his promotion from the youth academy.
His dynamic performances have not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from top European clubs.
Despite PSG’s interest, Barcelona are reportedly unwilling to part with Balde.
However, sources suggest that a substantial offer could prompt the financially strained club to reconsider.
Barcelona’s current financial challenges have led them to contemplate player sales, with Balde potentially being among them if the price is right.
This season, Balde has made 41 appearances across all competitions, contributing one goal and eight assists.
His consistent performances have solidified his status as a vital asset for both club and country.
