Manchester United are reportedly planning a swap deal for Alejandro Balde with FC Barcelona
Manchester United are reportedly weighing up the possibility of negotiating a swap arrangement with FC Barcelona that could involve highly rated left-back Alejandro Balde.
Reports from SPORT indicate that the Premier League side may be willing to include Marcus Rashford as part of the potential deal. This comes despite the fact that Barcelona still retain a €30 million option to permanently sign the forward under the terms of his current situation.
If the proposal were to materialize, it could provide United with an opportunity to add a dynamic option on the left flank of their defence while also reshaping their attacking lineup. For Rashford, the switch could represent a chance to revive his career in Spain and begin a new chapter at Camp Nou.
From Barcelona’s perspective, acquiring a player with significant Premier League experience could strengthen their attacking depth while the club continues planning for the future of its frontline, particularly as they look ahead to life after veteran striker Robert Lewandowski.
For now, however, the idea remains far from finalized. Sources suggest that conversations surrounding the possible exchange are only at a preliminary stage, and neither club has publicly confirmed that formal negotiations are underway.
