A startling €1 billion release clause is included in the contract. But Barcelona must first get La Liga’s blessing for their feasibility plan before the deal can be registered. The development of excellent young players like Balde, together with Gavi and Pedri, has given Barcelona optimism despite the team’s continued financial difficulties.

Alejandro Balde, who is viewed as a possible Jordi Alba replacement, has established himself as a regular member of the squad this year, making 41 appearances and scoring one goal and seven assists.

While Barcelona has some worries about Balde’s current deal expiring in a little over a year, they have been eager to ensure his long-term future for some weeks. The urgency has only increased as a result of rumors of interest from prominent clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United.

However, Barcelona is confident that once they meet Financial Fair Play regulations, they will be able to officially announce Balde’s contract extension. Since then, Alejandro Balde has become a popular topic of discussion, with many people trying to find out more about him. So, here’s what we know about him:

His career

At the age of eight, Alejandro Balde joined FC Barcelona after rising through the ranks at RCD Espanyol. With a 500 million euro release clause, he extended his contract with Barcelona through 2024 in July 2021.

He made an impression during the preseason in the summer of 2021, and he started the new season at Camp Nou as Jordi Alba’s primary backup. He made his debut appearance for Barcelona’s first team on September 14, 2021, taking Alba’s place in the 74th minute of a 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

Beginning with the 2022–23 season, coach Xavi gave Alejandro Balde a more significant role, starting him in more league games than Jordi Alba and giving him more playing time in crucial games.

On the international scene, Balde was called up to the Spanish national team unexpectedly two days before the 2022 FIFA World Cup began because teammate left-back José Gayà had hurt his ankle in practice. He made his debut for his country on November 23, 2022, in a 7-0 victory against Costa Rica, coming on as Jordi Alba’s replacement in the 64th minute.
