Chelsea Chase Barcelona Wonderkid

Chelsea is reportedly looking to make a late deal with Barcelona’s prodigy Alejandro Balde in the summer.

According to Fichajes, Alejandro Balde was reported by Chelsea as the subject of interest. This is in the eleventh hour before the summer transfer window closes. However, it is unknown if Barcelona will let the 18-year-old genius leave Camp Nou at this stage.

Alejandro Balde spent his youth at Sant Gabriel and then two years at Espanyol. However, the Spanish wizard spent the majority of his childhood at Barcelona’s La Masia academy.

The 18-year-old wonderkid made a debut for Barcelona in 2021/22 and has since been selected nine times. Balde may have been their first choice left-back after he has started two of three La Liga games for Barcelona. Balde’s success has attracted the attention of several clubs including Chelsea.

Chelsea initially expressed interest in Balde back in June as they searched for a replacement for Marcos Alonso who was coincidentally also for a target for Barcelona. It is quite surprising that Chelsea has shown interest in the Spanish wonderkid, following the signing of Marc Cucurella.
