Balde, Benfica target, now in offers from three Premier League giants

On the morning of September 25, 2026, Alejandro Balde's name echoed through the market corridors again: the 22‑year‑old left‑back, still under contract with Barcelona, received offers from Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool, after having been targeted by Benfica in the summer.

Offer from three English clubs

According to the portal CaughtOffside, agents presented the player to the three Premier League giants. The news was confirmed by an exclusive tweet from CaughtOffside's own account, which announced that Balde was offered to Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool.

Current situation of the player

Despite the offers, Balde remains on the market and still has no definite future. So far this season, the defender has logged only 12 minutes of playing time for Barcelona, indicating limited involvement on the pitch.

Jorge Mendes, who still represents the full‑back, continues to look for a placement, although coach Hansi Flick does not consider him essential for the German national team. The player is no longer deemed untouchable for Barcelona's setup.

The scenario shows that, although he was pursued by Benfica during the summer, Balde now has the interest of three of the biggest Premier League clubs, keeping alive the expectation of a transfer before the next registration window.
