Italian club Roma are among several teams expressing interest in Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde, according to reports emerging on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old Spain international has established himself as a regular starter for the Catalan side since breaking into the first team. His contract at Camp Nou runs until 2028, though his current deal includes a release clause reported to be in the region of €1 billion.
Roma's interest comes as they continue to evaluate options to strengthen their defensive options for the remainder of the season. The Giallorossi are not the only club said to be monitoring Balde's situation, though specific names of other interested parties have not been disclosed.
Barcelona have consistently maintained that Balde is not for sale and view him as a core part of their long-term project under manager Hansi Flick.
