Chelsea are looking to sign Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde in the summer of 2023.
Balde has struggled to break into Barcelona’s starting eleven recently due to competition from Marcos Alonso and Jordi Alba.
An exit from the club will be the best thing for his development, either on loan or permanently. The young defender is still only 18 years old, but playing football regularly will be important for him to gain experience and improve.
Now, according to transfers, Chelsea is considering making an offer of 15 million euros to sign Balde.

Seeing Chelsea linked with the Barcelona youngster is hardly a surprise, considering how often they have been targeting younger players under Todd Boehly.
Chelsea brought in a host of youngsters to boost the academy, and also made a late offer to sign Southampton star Romeo Lavia, according to Fabrizio Romano speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside via his Substack column.
Omari Hutchinson and Zak Sturge, among others, have also joined with an eye to the future, and a young manager like Graham Potter could be the right man to give these players their first-team opportunities when they are ready. .
