Barcelona agree terms with Alejandro Balde over new deal

Barcelona are set to tie down one of their valuable footballers for the coming years, after agreeing to terms on a new deal for Alejandro Balde.

The 19-year-old was not thought to be in contention for a first-team spot this season, but has taken La Liga by storm. Winning his place early on in the season, he has beaten out Jordi Alba and Marcos Alonso to lock down a first-team spot.

According to Sport, Barcelona and his agent Jorge Mendes have agreed to terms on a new deal that will last until 2027. The Blaugrana were keen to tie him to a new contract with other clubs no doubt keeping an eye on arguably the most promising left-back in the world.
