Florentino Pérez is making moves and could directly affect Barça. Real Madrid's president hasn't thrown in the towel yet for Alphonso Davies and has a plan: to sign him on a free transfer starting June 30. Until recently, his renewal with Bayern was considered a done deal, yet it seems that they've drifted apart again and there could be news soon.
With Davies's continuity at Bayern at risk, the Bavarian club has set its main target if the Canadian leaves. We're talking about Alejandro Balde, Barça's left-back, who has been identified as "the ideal candidate" to strengthen the Munich team.
El Nacional has discovered that Bayern is willing to pay up to 80 million euros to acquire Alejandro Balde. He's a left-back they really like there in case Davies ends up leaving, and they would go all out to convince Barça. In this sense, the blaugrana team doesn't rule out any departure, especially if there's so much money involved.
Even though Balde is considered practically non-transferable at Barça, an 80-million proposal could change everything. In such a delicate economic context, this figure would help ease the accounts and could largely be dedicated to transfer his potential replacement.
Alejandro Balde: Farewell to Barça? There's a Substitute in Mind
Barça is analyzing different options to reinforce the left-back position, and one of the most liked and convincing ones is in LaLiga. The interest has been discovered by LaCasaDelCuler, indicating that they are "studying" the possibility of making a proposal to immediately sign José Gayà from Valencia. He's a defender who has been of interest for many years, but has never ended up arriving.
The mentioned information points out that Barça "is considering" making Valencia a 15-million euro proposal to sign José Gayà. This move wouldn't stop here, as the youth player Gerard Martín would make the reverse journey, heading to Mestalla on loan.
It's a possibility that's being studied, although it's true that, right now, nothing is certain. The possible departure of Alejandro Balde for 80 million, heading to Bayern, would help make this move. Everything depends on Florentino Pérez taking the first step and ultimately signing Alphonso Davies for Real Madrid.
