Juventus are reportedly targeting a January move for Alejandro Balde, with Diario SPORT reporting on 26 September that the Italian side seeks a left-back specialist and has already probed the possibility of a loan. His Barcelona contract runs to June 2028, and the reports place him outside Hansi Flick's current project, which explains the pull of a mid-season move.

Juventus are reportedly targeting a January move for Alejandro Balde, with Diario SPORT reporting on 26 September that the Italian side seeks a left-back specialist and has already probed the possibility of a loan. His Barcelona contract runs to June 2028, and the reports place him outside Hansi Flick's current project, which explains the pull of a mid-season move.
Several outlets, including Yahoo Sports and Goal, picked up the story, adding AC Milan to the list of interested parties and framing the window as January, not summer.

On 29 September, Yahoo Sports, Goal, and calciomercato.it all repeated the interest, now with Milan also in the frame.
