12 minutes that lay bare the crisis: Barcelona star on the brink of a January exit

A Barcelona player is now closing in on an exit from the Catalan club in the upcoming winter transfer window, according to a Spanish press report on Tuesday.

The newspaper " AS " says Liverpool remain keen on Alejandro Balde and will press on with their pursuit in January.

Chelsea and Milan want him too. Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, are lining up a 40 million euro offer to land him this winter.

The left-back is now weighing up his future after slipping down the pecking order under head coach Hansi Flick.

Balde still wants to make it at Barcelona, but a move looks a very real possibility given his current situation.

Just 12 minutes of action in a Barcelona shirt this season across all competitions have left him seriously considering one of the offers on the table for January.
