Manchester United are unwilling to meet Barcelona’s asking price for Alejandro Balde, complicating negotiations as the transfer window nears its end.
Balde’s representative, Jorge Mendes, is working to find a solution. Barcelona must decide whether to accept a loan, while United are considering whether to pursue a permanent deal or a loan with an option to buy.
Balde’s preference is also unclear, with reports suggesting he could either join United or remain at Barcelona.
A sale could help Barcelona fund moves for defenders such as Castello Lukeba or Gonçalo Inácio. However, United prefer a loan, while Barcelona reportedly want €30 million to €40 million for a permanent transfer.
With time running out, Balde’s future remains unresolved.
