Liverpool are reportedly keeping a close eye on Alejandro Balde as the Barcelona left-back continues to struggle for regular minutes under Hansi Flick. 👀🔴
The 22-year-old has found himself behind Xavi Espart and João Cancelo in the current pecking order, with his lack of playing time opening the door to speculation about a possible January departure. Reports from Spain say Liverpool are among the clubs monitoring his situation. (Fichajes.net)
And this could become a very interesting opportunity for the Reds. 🔥
According to Fichajes, Barcelona could consider offers in the region of €40–45 million for Balde if his situation does not improve. January could therefore become the first real opportunity for Liverpool to explore a deal. (Fichajes.net)
⚡ BALDE COULD FIT IRAOLA’S STYLE
Balde’s speed and attacking ability would make him an intriguing option for Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool, particularly if the club decides it needs more depth and athleticism at left-back.
The Spanish international remains under contract with Barcelona until 2028, so any potential transfer would require negotiations between the two clubs. His official release clause is reportedly far higher, meaning the €40–45m figure being discussed would be a negotiated transfer rather than an automatic buyout. (Fichajes.net)
But there is an even bigger twist… 😳💰
🔴 RONALD ARAÚJO COULD ALREADY BE PART OF THE DEAL
Liverpool currently have Ronald Araújo on loan from Barcelona for the 2026/27 season, and reports indicate the Reds have a €55 million purchase option that could allow them to make his move permanent. (FC Barcelona)
Araújo has already impressed since arriving at Anfield, including a standout Champions League performance against Atlético Madrid in which he provided the assist for Liverpool’s equaliser. (Diario AS)
If Liverpool eventually decide to activate that option and then negotiate a €40–45m deal for Balde, Barcelona could potentially receive between €95m and €100m from the two players. 🤯💸
🔥 TWO BARÇA PLAYERS.
🔥 ONE PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB.
🔥 POTENTIALLY €100 MILLION FOR BARCELONA.
For now, though, there is no confirmed agreement for Balde. The reports describe Liverpool as monitoring his situation, with January potentially becoming a key moment if his lack of minutes continues. (Fichajes.net)
Could Anfield become Balde’s next destination? 👀🔴
LIVERPOOL AND BARCELONA COULD BE HEADING FOR ANOTHER MAJOR TRANSFER BATTLE! 🔥🇪🇸🔴
