Barcelona Faces Left-Back Dilemma as Marcos Alonso Departure Looms

Barcelona is facing the imminent departure of Marcos Alonso this summer as the 33 years old contract expires with no indication of renewal. This leaves Alejandro Balde as the sole natural left-back in the first team, prompting the need for a replacement. While it was initially suggested that Barca Atletic Alex Valle currently on loan at Levante would fill the void, reports indicate that Barcelona is open to selling Valle. 

Despite his solid performances for Levante, Valle future at Barcelona is uncertain especially with economic constraints leading to the need for player sales. Valle situation is further complicated by his recent loss of starting position at Levante under new management. Additionally, the potential departure of manager Xavi Hernandez could impact Valle prospects at the club.

If Barcelona opts to sell Valle, they will need to find an alternative solution to complement Balde potentially resulting in higher costs.
