Jorge Mendes Insists Alejandro Balde Will Stay at Barcelona for Many Years

Alejandro Balde's agent Jorge Mendes has expressed his confidence that the young left-back will remain at Barcelona for the long haul, citing the player's deep connection to the club and his immense potential.

Jorge Mendes, the agent of Barcelona's promising left-back Alejandro Balde, has reaffirmed his belief that the 20-year-old will stay at the Camp Nou for many years to come. In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, Mendes revealed that Barcelona had rejected offers from top clubs to sign Balde, which ultimately led to the player renewing his contract.

“Barça rejected offers from big teams for Balde and so he renewed,” Mendes disclosed, highlighting the club's determination to hold onto their prized asset. Mendes' admiration for Balde's abilities is evident, and he has no doubts about the youngster's potential for greatness. “There is no doubt for me, he will be the best left back in the world,” Mendes confidently predicted.

Mendes also drew parallels between Balde's situation and that of another Barcelona player, Lamine Yamal. "“Like with Lamine Yamal, I see Alejandro Balde staying at Barça for many years,” Mendes stated, emphasizing the player's deep connection to the club. “He's a Barça player through and through,” Mendes added, suggesting that Balde's affinity for the club will keep him at the Camp Nou for the foreseeable future.
