Alejandro Balde is one of the revelations of La Masia in recent years. A pure product of the Catalan team, the Spanish left-back was seen by observers as the legitimate successor of his counterpart and compatriot Jordi Alba, considered one of the best full-backs of the last decade. Since the departure of number 18 at the end of his contract, the neo-international of La Roja (6 caps) has naturally settled in the Blaugrana left lane, already playing 56 matches in all competitions with the first team, with one goal and seven assists.
A modern full-back profile and a notable margin of progress which oblige the Barcelona management to ensure the future of its 19-year-old protégé in Barcelona, he who was only linked to the FCB until June 2024, before the good news was revealed Today. Indeed, the reigning Spanish champion club has just announced the extension of its defender, until 2028. In its perspective of renewing the contracts of its young people, this is therefore already a step taken for the Catalan board, before now tackling the case of Lamine Yamal, another precocious talent of the Montjuic residents.
