Luis Enrique wants to bring Barcelona player to PSG — El Nacional

PSG head coach Luis Enrique wants to add Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde to his team. The Spanish specialist has asked the club's management to explore the possibilities of making this transfer. This was reported by El Nacional.

After Hansi Flick's arrival at the team, Balde lost his place in Barcelona's starting lineup. For this reason, the likelihood of him leaving the team in January has increased. Enrique knows the player's potential well and believes he will strengthen PSG's defense.

Currently, Nuno Mendes is PSG's main left-back. However, the coach feels the need for another strong player to increase competition and rotation in this position. According to the source, PSG could offer 40 million euros for Balde. If the player himself agrees to leave, this amount is sure to convince the Catalans' sporting director Deco to agree to the deal.

In fact, the 22-year-old defender wanted to stay in the team and continue his career at Barcelona. However, remaining on the bench could change his decision. No final decision has been made yet, but the probability of Balde's transfer to PSG during the winter transfer window is quite high.

For reference, Alejandro Balde is a product of the Barcelona academy and has won a number of trophies with the club. The defender has become a three-time Spanish champion, a one-time Copa del Rey winner, and a three-time Super Cup winner.
