5 players Barcelona could sign to replace Jordi Alba

#4 Alejandro Balde of FC Barcelona B

Barcelona could also choose to take a more financially suitable route by going for youngster Alejandro Balde. The 17-year-old left-back is a product of La Masia and is currently playing for the Barcelona under-19 squad. The Spanish defender could be a good choice for Ronald Koeman as it would help him save some money for future transfers. He is developing quite steadily as well, his pace, dribbling skills, and immense physical strength have caught the eyes of the first-team coach who made him train with the first team on several occasions. Although still unproven in the elite tier of football, Balde can be the perfect cheap gamble for Barcelona.
