FC Barcelona will have to make other provisions for the summer if they want to sell any of their most valuable players, especially with Balde losing 'girlfriends' in recent days

It is not any secret that Alejandro Balde is an active, and player, very important for the FC Barcelona. By both situations the Barcelona club bet by a strategic renewal after his first season consolidated in the first team. It signed an agreement with a clause of rescission of 1.000 million euros that avoided any problem in the market and besides moved him away to a free exit this next summer.

However, the second year of the youngster is not being the one who michos expected, even out of the own Barça. The side likes a lot in the Premier League almost from the instant that exploded of definite way in the City Condal and separated of the XI to players like Jordi Alba and Marcos Alonso. In fact, already in FCBN explain does some months that Pep Guardiola had him in diary for his Manchester City, still after his renewal.
