On his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano spoke about Barcelona player Alejandro Balde, who is set to leave the Catalan club and has been linked with Milan and Roma in Italy. These were his words.
"Regarding Balde, he is a name we have mentioned because he is certainly a player worth keeping an eye on. We said to keep an eye on him because he is perhaps more of an international option in terms of costs rather than the Italian market, but in any case, there is interest from Italy.
The player was also offered to clubs in Italy last summer by George Mendes, his agent, including Milan. So, Milan and Roma, who have also been linked with Balde in recent weeks, are certainly clubs that have an excellent relationship with Mendes and are aware of Balde's situation.
He has found very little playing time, so he would clearly like to play more. However, I continue to say that anyone looking to sign Balde, even just on loan, if Barcelona allow him to leave on loan, would have to consider his net salary of €5.5 million. It is true that it would only be paid over six months, but it is a very demanding salary when we consider the gross amount."
