Serie A giants Juventus are interested in bringing Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde to Italy.
The Bianconeri are willing to offer young Croatian midfielder Fabio Miretti in exchange for the promising Spanish left-back.
Alejandro Balde began his football career in the Sant Gabriel quarry. He spent two years at the Sant Gabriel academy before joining Espanyol’s youth setup. Balde stayed two in the Espanyol quarry.
In 2011, the left-back joined city rivals Espanyol and the academy of La Liga giants FC Barcelona. He then graduated from La Masia and started playing for Barcelona’s second team. After impressing as a reserve full-back, Balde was given minutes in the senior team. The Spanish finally established themselves in the team and are now a very important part of Xavi’s team.
Juventus interested in Alejandro Balde
Now, according to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Juventus are interested in signing Spanish left-back Alejandro Balde from Barcelona.
After a decade of dominance, the Bianconeri are currently going through a period of transition. Juventus have also had a poor start to the current season. They have won just three of their first nine matches and are now in eighth position in the table.
The Juventus management understands the situation very well. They want to reinforce multiple positions in the next windows, one of them being the left back. The Brazilian left back has already had his best moment.
His performance has not been constant in recent days. So Juventus are looking for plenty of left-back options for next summer. And now, according to recent reports, Alejandro Blade is the latest addition to that list.
Interestingly, the Binaconeri are willing to offer Fabio Mirreti to Barcelona in exchange. Having risen from the Juventus academy, Mirreti broke into the first team this season. He is now a very important player for Allegri, but Juventus is aware of Barcelona’s interest in the midfielder.
However, despite all this, it will be very difficult for the binaconeri to reach an agreement with the Catalan giants for the transfer of Alejandro Balde.
Ths Paniard has appeared in seven games for Barcelona this season and has already provided three assists so far. The 18-year-old is one of the most important players for Xavi and the Barcelona management see him as their long-term option in the left back position.
Whats Next?
Balde will now play his next game when Barcelona host Inter Milan at home in a very important UEFA Champions League match.
For their part, Juventus and Fabio Mirfetti will face Maccabi Haifa in their next outing.
