Atletico Madrid is considering the possibility of Alejandro Baldes’s transfer from Barcelona to the previous January deadline, as the left-wing defender reportedly has lost importance in coach Hansi Flick’s plans.
According to the Spanish newspaper MarcaSportsmen at the Madrill Club have identified the left wing of defence as a department requiring reinforcements, with the aim of creating direct competition with Alex Grimaldon.
Atletico aims to take advantage of Balde’s dissatisfaction with his situation in Barcelona, where the minutes of the game and the team’s role have dropped significantly under Flick’s direction.
Another testimony to his team position was the November 8th match, when Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid by 2-1, while Balde attended the entire meeting by the reserve bank without being activated.
In that confrontation, Flick made some changes in the defensive department, using Frankie de Jong as an emergency solution to the right arm, while Gerard Martin and Eric Garcia engaged in the centre of defence.
This decision is seen as another indicator that Balde is not one of the German coach’s main elections.
In late October, Flick had also spoken of the need for the defender to restore confidence so that he could regain the required level of pressure and assault leaks, which are an important part of his tactical system.
Under these circumstances, Balde has reportedly asked his representatives to consider the possibility of leaving during the January transitional deadline so that his career development will not be hampered.
Atletico Madrid is seeing this situation as an opportunity to approach Barcelona’s defender and reinforce his left arm.
