FC Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde<\/a> has decided to leave the club according to Jjiantes<\/a>, citing anonymous sources.<\/p>\n \u201cAlejandro Balde will not continue at Bar\u00e7a,\u201d explained the reliable outlet.\n<\/p>\n \n \u201cThe defender has made the decision to seek an exit after the latest talks and feelings at the club.<\/p>\n Jorge Mendes is working to find him a team in this final stretch of the transfer window,\u201d Jijantes added.<\/p>\n The news comes after comments head coach Hansi Flick<\/a> made at his press conference<\/a> to preview Sunday\u2019s 2026\/2027 La Liga debut away at Elche.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a difficult question because he has enormous quality and it\u2019s important to know if a player is convinced to be able to compete in his position. That\u2019s what I want to see from all my players,\u201d Flick answered, when asked about the left back.<\/p>\n “Every day I see what the players do – the level – and if they show me that they have the level to play. In the end, we have to play as a team, only then will we have success. I need everyone to be one hundred percent,” he then added.<\/p>\n It\u2019s currently unknown whether these comments have been the final straw in Balde making his decision. In any event, it appears that he has decided not to continue at his boyhood club after his agent Mendes met with Sporting Director Deco a few days ago.<\/p>\n Barcelona full back Alejandro Balde could be headed to Manchester United<\/p>\n Earlier this week, Balde was linked with a potential move to Manchester United which could now be back on.<\/p>\n On Saturday, just before the Balde news broke, the Red Devils lost to newly-promoted Hull City 2-0.<\/p>\n
