Badly engaged in discussions with Nuno Mendes, Paris Saint-Germain is beginning to anticipate the possible departure of the Portuguese. To replace him, the capital club is thinking of the left side of FC Barcelona, Alejandro Balde.
Paris Saint-Germain is not the type to open the door to its holders. But next summer, management could make an exception for Nuno Mendes (22 years old). Discussions have begun with the left-back's entourage for an extension. But the negotiations are not moving forward and tensions have arisen between the two parties. The Portuguese, disappointed with the salary offer presented by his superiors, does not consider himself valued commensurate with his status in the team.
If the situation does not change, Nuno Mendes will find himself one year from the end of his contract. And will probably be asked to leave knowing that Bayern Munich and especially Manchester United are already ready to welcome him. This would obviously be a hard blow for Paris Saint-Germain who must anticipate a possible exit. The French champion has already started to study the market, reveals the Spanish media Reliefwho speaks of an interest in Alejandro Balde (21 years old).
There is nothing concrete at the moment because the current leader of Ligue 1 has not made any contact on this matter. But the source affirms that the Parisians are thinking of the left side of FC Barcelona in the event of the departure of Nuno Mendes. Given the relationship with the Catalan club, Paris Saint-Germain did not choose the easiest target to hit. Especially since the agent of the Spanish international Jorge Mendes has just provided an update on the future of the Blaugrana under contract until 2028.
Barça is keen on Balde
« What I can say is that before his extension at Barça (in September 2023), the best clubs in Europe wanted him and Barça knew it. So there is no doubt for anyonethe representative told Mundo Deportivo last Monday. The clubs knew Barça's difficult situation and they knew they could take advantage of it. But Barca made the safe decision not to sell him despite significant offers and there is no doubt. In his position, he is number 1. » It must be believed that Paris Saint-Germain is not far from sharing his opinion.
