The left-back has been a revelation since his breakthrough at the Catalan giants, but he could be on his way out soon.

The Blaugrana need to balance their books with a significant sale and Balde is one of those who could head for the exit door.

Aside from the Spaniard, the club have also placed Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo as candidates who could be sold.

Balde has been attracting interest from Chelsea over the past 12 months, and the Blues could make a move this summer.

Ben Chilwell has looked far from his best since his injury comeback while Marc Cucurella is currently out with a knee issue.

One of those could be sold for Balde, who won't be back on the field until the summer after a hamstring surgery of his own.

Barcelona are expected to demand at least €70m for his services.
