The Spain international has been linked with several top European clubs in recent months, including reported interest from the Premier League, as Barcelona continue to navigate financial pressures and transfer-market speculation. However, Balde has made it clear that his future remains firmly at Camp Nou.

“I am not leaving. Barça is my home,” Balde said. “I’ve been at this club for 16 years, all my life. I want to succeed here, and my mind is only on continuing for many more years.”

The 22-year-old academy graduate has become one of Barcelona’s most important defenders since breaking into the first team, with his pace, attacking runs, and defensive maturity making him a key figure under the club’s current project.

His comments come after persistent reports suggested Barcelona could consider offers for the full-back to generate funds for new signings. Despite those rumours, Balde’s public declaration underlines his commitment to the club where he has spent virtually his entire footballing career.

Barcelona have consistently viewed Balde as a cornerstone of their long-term plans, and the defender’s latest remarks will reassure supporters concerned about the possibility of losing another homegrown talent.

With pre-season preparations underway, Balde is focused solely on regaining full fitness and helping Barcelona compete for domestic and European honours in the 2026–27 campaign. His stance also signals that any potential suitors are unlikely to make progress unless the club’s position changes dramatically.

For now, Balde has closed the door on transfer speculation, reaffirming that his ambition is to continue writing his story in Barcelona colours rather than seeking a new challenge elsewhere.
