Barcelona Contact Sunderland and Everton over Shock January Loan Deal

Barcelona are exploring a loan for Alejandro Balde after he played just 13 La Liga minutes this season, with Premier League clubs showing interest.

  • Manchester United's chances of signing Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde have "improved" ahead of January, with the 22-year-old increasingly open to departing due to limited playing time under Hansi Flick.

  • Barcelona has authorized the defender to seek a move, with representatives "working hard on options away from Catalunya" and the club reportedly willing to consider a departure for around €40 million.
  • Liverpool has emerged as a potential destination alongside Manchester United, while Sunderland, Everton, and Fulham have been contacted regarding a possible loan deal during the January window.
  • At 22, Balde has accumulated 169 appearances for the Catalan giants and offers significant experience for interested clubs across Europe, though he approaches the final 18 months of his contract.
