Overview
- Manchester United are monitoring Alejandro Balde and weighing an opening offer near €40 million for the summer, according to reports relayed by CaughtOffside and Goal.
- Inter Milan are also tracking the 22-year-old, introducing potential competition for any deal.
- Barcelona retain strong leverage with Balde under contract until 2028 and protected by a €1 billion release clause, and reporting indicates their valuation exceeds €40 million.
- No formal bid has been lodged, and Goal reports United are likely to move once the window opens and budget and European qualification are clearer.
- Goal adds that ongoing dialogue between the clubs over Marcus Rashford could influence talks, while Balde remains a regular under Hansi Flick but is not considered untouchable and deputy Gerard Martin has drawn AC Milan interest.
