Jorge Mendes is making calls to arrange the departure of one of his clients, Alejandro Balde, who is not playing as much as he would like at Barcelona and has offered him to Roma in recent days. The Yellow and red were enthusiastic in the summer and did not refuse the offer, Messenger reports (via All Football).
They lack a left-footed specialist, but their full-backs have been solid so far. Emanuele Lulli was revealed for the first time and recently extended his contract until 2031. The Spaniard participated in this campaign only three times.
Juventus are also closely linked with Mendes and have been monitoring Balde in the past. However, Barcelona slapped a €40/50 million price tag on him and Bianconeri did not continue. His price could be significantly lower in a few months, but the 23-year-old is under contract until 2029, so the Catalans still have plenty of leverage.
Negotiations can be facilitated by including Andrea Cambiaso in the contract. He is far from untouchable Bianconeribut they still value him highly, around €30 million. Although they would prefer to part ways with Juan Caballo, they will trigger the sale of the Italian for a decent offer.
Our take on Mendes, Balde, Roma and Juventus
January often presents this kind of opportunity, but unless the sides get creative, his price tag is out of reach for Italian sides. The capital club can stay comfortable as it is on the flanks. The move for them would be to part ways with Devyne Rensch and bring in a lefty. After being approached by Manchester City in the past, the Old Lady have struggled to find directions Cambiaso would like and the Blaugrana would offer an excellent escape route.
