PSG Puts Barça in Check with One of Its Young Stars

A 'domino effect' on the left-back position of the major clubs in Europe could occur during the 2025 transfer market. While major figures like Theo Hernández and Alphonso Davies dominate the headlines due to uncertainties about their futures, names like Álvaro Carreras and, above all, Nuno Mendes also seem poised to star in a couple of interesting 'soap operas'.

And the latter's contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends in June 2026, and negotiations to extend his stay in France are stalled. This situation is being seized by Manchester United, which hopes to strengthen the left side of its defense, and the Portuguese would be the choice of Rúben Amorim.

PSG Keeping an Eye on Alejandro Balde

For this reason, the offices at Parc des Princes have activated the machinery to cover themselves in case the Portuguese heads to Old Trafford, and Alejandro Balde would be the chosen one to replace him in the defense, as reported by 'Relevo'.

For now, there are no contacts or negotiations underway, although the situation could evolve in the coming months. However, it seems difficult for FC Barcelona to part with one of its top young talents, although the possible arrival of Davies as a free agent could open the doors for the '3' culé, whose transfer could leave more than 50 million euros in the institution's coffers.
