Summary
- Manchester City eyes Barcelona's Alejandro Balde for left-back position.
- Rayan Aït-Nouri seeks January exit from Manchester City.
- Balde prefers Premier League move amid competition from rivals.
Manchester City is reportedly exploring the acquisition of Barcelona's left-back, Alejandro Balde, to address a long-standing issue in their squad. The club has struggled to find a consistent performer in this position for nearly a decade.
Rayan Aït-Nouri, who joined Manchester City in June 2025, is said to be seeking an exit in the upcoming January 2027 transfer window due to limited playing time. His departure could pave the way for a new arrival.
Barcelona is reportedly open to selling Balde for approximately €40 million, though a loan with an option to buy is also being considered. Balde is understood to favor a move to the Premier League, facing competition from several top clubs.
As Manchester City prepares for a busy fixture schedule, their transfer strategy for the left-back position will become clearer in the coming weeks, contingent on player movements.
