Alejandro Balde confirms Barça's next signing: his 'like' on social media gives him away

The full-back has caused a lot of discussion on social media, and Barça's intentions have been revealed

Barça is recovering from its financial crisis and is already starting to move in the transfer market, something highly demanded by the fans. Last year, Deco made few moves in the market, something for which he was criticized for several months. Fortunately, Hansi Flick's arrival has changed everything and the club is in a great moment.

Barça has become competitive in Europe again and all rivals fear them, something that hadn't happened in years. Players like Alejandro Balde have raised their level and have attracted interest from several teams. Now, the full-back has interacted on Instagram and the fans have already speculated about what's coming, which is no small thing.

Alejandro Balde leaves a clue

Alejandro Balde hasn't had it easy and has gone through several injuries that would've harmed anyone more than him. Last year, the full-back's performance dropped drastically and, shortly after, he got injured. His physical problem kept him off the field for more than half the season and Cancelo took over the starting role.

Under Hansi Flick's orders, Alejandro Balde is showing his best soccer and is already one of the best defenders on the continent. Amid all the rumors about Nico Williams, the culé has "liked" an interesting post. In an image linking Nico with Barça, Balde left a like that has gone around the world.

In that post, Nico Williams appears shouting in a Barça jersey as if he were celebrating a goal. After Alejandro Balde's interaction and the news leaked by Fabrizio Romano, everything fits. Flick has given his approval and several sources, including from Germany, state that there has been direct contact.

Flick's call with Alejandro Balde's friend

We always see images of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, but what people don't usually know is that it was Alejandro Balde who introduced them. It seems Flick called Williams and wants him on his team if possible, a reason that has led the board to study the operation in detail. Although we can't confirm anything yet, it's likely that in the coming days we'll learn more about the possible signing of the Spanish winger.
