Barcelona Contact Sunderland and Everton over Shock January Loan Deal
Barcelona are willing to discuss a sale as Balde has played just 13 La Liga minutes this season, reports said.
- Barcelona is open to selling defender Jules Kounde and left-back Alejandro Balde during the January transfer window, alerting multiple Premier League clubs to their potential availability.
- Both players have seen their opportunities severely limited under manager Hansi Flick, with Kounde starting just one La Liga match and Balde playing only 13 minutes this season.
- Barcelona reportedly values Kounde above 50 million, while Balde could be available for around 40 million; representatives are "working hard on options away from Catalunya."
- Sunderland, Everton, and Fulham have been contacted regarding a potential loan for Balde, while Liverpool has also emerged as a suitor for the Spanish defender.
- Financial obstacles remain the main hurdle for any deal, though manager Flick's requirement that he needs "everyone to be one hundred percent, totally committed" contrasts with Barcelona's urgent need for sales.
