Barcelona and Manchester United are at odds over the terms of a potential transfer for Blaugrana defender Alejandro Balde, according to ESPN. The defender has been the subject of much attention in Barcelona due to rumors of his impending move before the start of the summer transfer window. Balde was notably absent from manager Hansi Flick's squad for Barcelona's opening La Liga match against Elche.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is eager to make a move for the 22-year-old left-back, who they believe could bolster their defensive options. Sources indicate that United has had preliminary talks with Balde's representatives about the possible terms of a deal. United reportedly hopes to secure Balde on loan, which is a stance Barcelona is unwilling to entertain.
ESPN reports that the Catalan club is more interested in a permanent transfer, aiming to secure a deal worth between 30 to 40 million euros to reinvest in another defender.
