Alejandro Balde Could Leave Barcelona in January as Barcelona Consider Loan Exit

Alejandro Balde could leave Barcelona in January if his situation at the club does not improve, according to SPORT.

The Barcelona academy graduate has reportedly found himself in an uncertain position amid increased competition for the left-back spot. If his lack of playing time continues, the club could consider allowing him to leave during the winter transfer window.

SPORT reports that Barcelona would be open to a loan move for Balde, with the idea of giving the 22-year-old regular football and allowing him to regain his market value before the club makes a definitive decision on his future next summer.

Balde has previously established himself as an important first-team player at Barça, making 47 appearances in the 2024/25 campaign and 42 appearances in 2025/26.

The situation could therefore develop significantly over the next few months. Barcelona are not necessarily looking to part ways with Balde permanently in January, but a temporary move could provide him with the minutes needed to rebuild his form and value.

For now, his future appears dependent on whether his situation under Hansi Flick changes before the January transfer window opens.
