Not Dani Olmo… Luis Enrique targets Barcelona’s main star in Hansi Flick’s squad and offers €50m to sign him in January

The winter transfer window remains highly active, with top clubs looking to bolster their squads for the second half of the season. Paris Saint-Germain, in particular, is focused on strengthening key areas, notably the left side of their team. In this context, the French club is reportedly preparing a significant offer to secure one of the standout players from La Liga.

According to Spanish newspaper “El Nacional,” PSG, under Luis Enrique’s management, is ready to propose €50 million for Alejandro Balde, Barcelona’s star left-back. Enrique views Balde as a crucial addition to reinforce PSG’s left flank, a priority for the club in the upcoming months.

While there has been no formal communication between the two clubs yet, reports suggest that PSG’s leadership, led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is eager to pursue this deal. Barcelona, facing ongoing financial difficulties that restrict their transfer activities, may find it hard to turn down such a substantial offer.

Despite efforts by Joan Laporta to resolve Barcelona’s financial fair play issues, a bid as appealing as PSG’s could be tough to reject. However, Barcelona remains firm that Balde is central to their long-term vision, and they would only consider selling him if a significant change in circumstances occurs.

Luis Enrique’s interest in Balde is unsurprising given their previous connection with the Spanish national team, where the coach gave the young full-back his first senior appearances. The report concludes with Enrique suggesting that losing Balde could jeopardize Barcelona’s season in an unprecedented way.
