Barcelona’s Potential Sale of Alejandro Balde Sparks Fan Backlash
Recent reports suggesting Barcelona’s contemplation of selling Alejandro Balde next summer have left fans incredulous, particularly given his recognition as La Liga’s best left-back last season. Expressing disbelief, one fan emphasized the absurdity of such speculation, asserting that Balde’s relatively short period on the bench shouldn’t overshadow his promising career start.
“Barcelona thinking about selling Balde after two games on the bench? Don’t make me laugh,” commented Barca fan Domagoj. “The boy has just started his career, and we’re fueling the fire about his sale just because Cancelo, an elite & experienced full-back, was picked over him? The media in Spain need to relax,” he added.
While Balde has experienced a dip in form this season with 18 appearances and one assist, fans argue against prematurely considering a sale. Joao Cancelo’s exceptional performances have relegated Balde to a backup role, but supporters highlight the necessity of retaining quality depth, especially with Cancelo on loan and potential departures looming.
