PSG could soon add a new defender to its squad after Alejandro Baldé's decision to leave FC Barcelona in the winter transfer window. The 22-year-old Spanish left-back expressed his wish to leave to his agent, Jorge Mendes, which reignites speculation about a possible transfer to the French capital.
Baldé, who signed a contract with Barça last summer, has played just 12 minutes in ten games this season. The Catalan coach, HansiFlick, favors JoãoCancelo and the young XaviEspart for the left side, thus leaving Baldé without chances of finding a regular role. Faced with this situation, the player reevaluated his future and decided to look for a club where he could get more playing time.
Rumors indicate that PSG could offer an amount of around 40 million euros for the transfer of Baldé. The Parisian club, which recently strengthened its left defender, would consider the acquisition of a young and promising player as an interesting option. However, it remains to be seen whether LuisEnrique and the Barça management will agree to sell the player as January approaches.
As PSG prepares for its winter transfer window, the potential arrival of Baldé could complete the Parisian defense and offer an alternative to the left back already in place. Negotiations must, however, be concluded before the window closes, otherwise the player could remain at Barcelona for the rest of the season.
In the coming days, the two clubs will have to clarify their intentions. If PSG confirms their interest, an agreement could be reached before the end of the transfer period. Otherwise, Baldé will remain at Barcelona, but his long-term future could be uncertain, leaving the Catalan club looking for solutions for their left side.
