Barca have confirmed young full-back Alejandro Balde has inked a contract extension until 2028.
Alejandro broke into the Catalan side’s senior team in 2021 and became a crucial footballer for Xavi’s team last campaign as they triumphed with their 1st La Liga trophy in 4 years.
The defender, who is yet to become 20 years old, played 44 matches in all tournaments during the 2022/23 campaign, giving 7 assists and scoring 1 goal. As a result of his great season, he was among the 10 finalists for the 2023 Kopa Trophy.
