Aston Villa have been linked with a potential move for Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde in recent reports emerging from Spain.
The reports suggest Villa could be preparing a significant offer, with figures in the region of €50 million mentioned. However, at this stage, the claims appear to originate from overseas outlets and have not been substantiated by major UK-based sources.
There has been no confirmation from Aston Villa or FC Barcelona, and the situation remains speculative.
As it stands, this should be treated as a rumour rather than a confirmed transfer development. UTV
