Barcelona's Economic Crisis Continues!
Barcelona is committed to continuing all its prominent young players with the team to complete its project, but it faces difficult economic challenges. According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", renewing Alejandro Balde's contract with Barcelona until 2028 does not mean ruling out selling him next summer to one of the Premier League clubs, noting that Balde was coach Xavi's first big bet on Al Bab's talents, and the player gained confidence at the expense of Jordi Alba and Marcos Alonso. Because of Balde's fluctuating level this season, in addition to the fact that he was no longer decisive in the final meters, Xavi put him on the bench several times to get a rest in order to regain his mental focus. She explained that Balde is still essential in Xavi's calculations, but his fate depends on his level in this decisive stage. season. She stated: “On the sporting side, Barcelona does not intend to sell Balde, but economically, it may be obliged to pay a lot of money in the summer, if it wants to sign a starting midfielder and a new winger.” The newspaper concluded in its report: “There is an English club that is willing to pay huge sums of money to include Balde, as Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent, had previously suggested, putting him up for sale to help Barca economically in its crisis.”
