Following the successful signing of Manchester City striker Ferrantores, Barca are interested in taking advantage of the winter window to strengthen the left-back. According to the team reporter Romero, Barca have set their sights on Ajax player Tagliafico. In order to persuade Ajax to release, Barca intend to add 18-year-old Balde to the deal. It is worth mentioning that Balder is also a left-back. Having made his barcelona debut this season, he was abandoned by two consecutive managers, Koeman and Xavi, and is now a helping chip in the winter window.
It all started this summer. In order to alleviate the financial pressure on the club, Barca deliberately cleared up the redundant staff. However, players such as Umtiti are adamant about not leaving the team, and it is really difficult to find a buyer. Seeing this, Barca management decided to sell Firpo. After negotiations, Firpo eventually joined Leeds United in the Premier League. With the official announcement of the trade, Barça fans were completely speechless: after selling Firpo, only Alba was left at left-back. Referring to his attendance and performance in these seasons, how can he play on the left side?
Compared with Barca fans, coach Koeman is more helpless. With no money to bring in reinforcements, he had to try to dig in, and the 18-year-old left-back Balder was promoted to the first team. Valder came off the bench in the Champions League group stage against Bayern to make his Barca debut. Although Barca eventually lost 3-0 to Bayern, Balde's performance was not lacking in highlights. So he quickly made his La Liga debut in the league against Granada.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and Balder, who had high hopes, gradually faded out of the fans' sight. Even if Alba is seriously injured and absent, Coman would rather have right-back Dest play left-back. With Harvey taking over, Balde still struggles to get a chance. It goes back to the roots because his ability is not enough to play for the Barca team. Especially in the eyes of Harvey, who emphasizes passing control, Balder, who only blindly rushes forward, is too reckless and lacks the ability to read the game. Because of this, Xavi asked Barca to take advantage of the winter window to strengthen the left-back.
After some selection, Barca took a fancy to Ajax defender Tagliafico. According to the well-known journalist Romano, Tagliafico is very willing to join Barca. Seeing that the players are resolute, Ajax management intends to fulfill it. However, Barca's practice of only wanting to go on loan is unacceptable to Ajax. As many fans say: players lend you to use, people use what!
According to the latest report from the team reporter Romero, Barca management thought of a solution: send Balde, who also played as a left-back, over. This will not only help persuade Ajax to agree to a trade, but also allow Balde to get more chances to play. Given the deep friendship between Barca and Ajax clubs and The attitude of Tagliafico, the chances of a transfer deal for this player swap are not small. I look forward to Balde being able to seize this valuable training opportunity to grow quickly and then return to Barca as soon as possible to compete for the main force!
