It is clear to Balde where his future lies

Whenever a big club closes a season without titles and with a change on the bench, a door opens to uncertainty in the squads. This is certainly the case of FC Barcelona, ​​​​which will start a new phase with the German Hansi Flick as coach. Barça has its young players the basis to hold onto for the future, as demonstrated by the performances of Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí and Fermín López. Gavi and Alejandro Balde were the sensations of the season immediately before the current season, in which the Liga and the Super Cup were won, but this year two serious injuries put them both out of circulation with a large part of the season remaining in play Balde is already thinking about the new season ahead. In the words of the ‘Residency’ platformwhere footballers are asked by fans, Balde was asked about a hypothetical signing for Liverpool this summer and his response left no room for doubt: “Should I leave Barça in the summer? Nobody,” he replied.

It is clear that the 2023-24 campaign will not leave a good memory of him, especially in comparison to the previous one, where he even took away ownership from a left wing legend like Jordi Alba. The 20-year-old youth player, who has a contract as a Barça player until 2028, is in the final stages of his rehabilitation after undergoing surgery in the winter for biceps femoris tendon damage in his right leg. The Eurocup is gone, but other great selection tournaments are coming. So far, he has been able to get to know and accept Flick, hoping he will be the Alphonso Davies he had at Bayern.

In his conversation with his followers, Balde pointed out that his best friend in football It is certainly another Barça youth player who is now succeeding in the Bundesliga, Xavi Simons, and whom the Barça club wants to take, initially on loan from PSG. As for the Euro Cup he will continue as a spectator, the left-back has named Luis de la Fuente’s own Spanish team as the favourite.
