Concerns Raised Over Balde and Koundé's Performance in Barcelona

Barcelona defenders Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé have raised questions about their performance this season. According to Mundo Deportivo, the club is dissatisfied with the current level of play displayed by the 22-year-old Spaniard and the 27-year-old Frenchman this season.

Compared to last season, they had delivered more consistent performances. The "Blaugrana" are looking for ways to resolve the issue.

The decline in Balde's performance may be linked to the lack of sufficient competition for the left-back position. Furthermore, in 2026, Barcelona may attempt to bring back their academy product Alejandro Grimaldo, who is currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen.

There is a possibility of acquiring him for 15–20 million euros.
