Alejandro Balde could leave Barça for the Premier League

FC Barcelona's 23-year-old left-back Alejandro Balde is considering a move to the Premier League during the upcoming winter transfer window. According to Mundo Deportivo, he is beginning to accept the idea of leaving Catalonia in order to find more playing time and confidence.

Balde has not been in the starting lineup despite several recent appearances against PSG, Real Madrid, and Alavés. His coach, Hansi Flick, felt that the player currently lacked "the necessary confidence or conviction in his game." Balde is finding this situation difficult and feels he has received neither support nor explanations from his management.

Several English clubs, notably Manchester United, are interested in the young defender. Barça prefers a sale rather than a loan to raise cash to strengthen its defense this winter.

Gradual return for William Saliba

William Saliba has resumed training with Arsenal after several months out due to a back injury. The English club shared the news on its social media channels by posting a photo of the central defender's return, accompanied by this comment: "Look who's back." Saliba is not yet ready for matches and must perform specific training exercises.
