Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff has said that a new contract for Alejandro Balde is imminent and should be signed, sealed and delivered soon.
Balde has been a revelation this season after breaking into the first team and playing regularly under Xavi.
The teenager was also a late call-up for the Spain World Cup squad and made four appearances for La Roja in Qatar.
Balde’s current deal expires in 2024 but Cruyff says the club will tie him down to a new deal.
“He has been in conversations for a long time and we are delighted with him.
