Milan could revive interest in Barcelona's Balde after Saelemaekers and Estupiñán injuries
Milan's squad depth on the left flank has been hit by injuries to Saelemaekers and Estupiñán, prompting the club to explore the market for reinforcements. Alejandro Balde of Barcelona has emerged as a potential target, with reports suggesting Milan could revive their previous interest in the Spanish full-back. The move would address Milan's defensive shortage while giving Balde a potential exit route from a Barcelona side where minutes may be limited. No formal negotiations have been confirmed at this stage.
Read the full story at football-italia.netMilan's pivot toward Balde is a reactive transfer move driven by necessity rather than long-term planning. Losing two options in the same position in quick succession forces the recruitment department to act, and Balde's profile — young, technically gifted, and already La Liga-tested — fits the kind of versatile full-back Milan have favoured in recent windows. The stumbling block, as always with Barcelona targets, is finances; even a loan with option would require creative structuring. For Balde, a move could offer the regular minutes his development needs, but only if both clubs can find a framework that works under their respective wage constraints.
