Liverpool join Man United in Alejandro Balde race

Liverpool and Manchester United are monitoring the 22-year-old after he played only 13 La Liga minutes this season, reports said.

  • Manchester United and Liverpool are monitoring Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde ahead of the January transfer window, with reports indicating the 22-year-old is becoming increasingly open to a departure.
  • FBref records Balde as having played just 13 La Liga minutes in 2026/27, a dramatic drop from 28 league appearances during the 2025/26 campaign under manager Hansi Flick.
  • Barcelona are reportedly willing to consider Balde's departure for approximately £40 million, after Manchester United held summer discussions with his representative Jorge Mendes regarding a potential deal.
  • According to Football Insider, Manchester United's chances of signing Balde have "improved" as the defender reconsiders his Barcelona future due to his lack of regular football.
  • If Barcelona remain willing to negotiate around the previously reported £30 million figure, Balde's age and potential make him an attractive long-term signing, warranting close monitoring through the coming months.
