Do you think grimaldo is better than balde?
Might be wise to do the same at RB looking at Kounde's form. Ratiu or Munoz maybe.
Mingueza would be for free alsoEqual value for different styles.
I think Balde fits the run and gone game more, Grimaldo (and my all time favourite La Masia LB , Cucurella) fits a more traditional LB that is less athletic and worse ball runner, but more about playmaking.
Or Mingueza
Mingueza for free is interesting, he'd help with depth. Too bad he's worse on LB than in RB, we would need a left footed fullback more than a right one. We could sell Kounde and get Mingueza + a CB for the FFP space he would create but we don't do smart deals here.Equal value for different styles.

Kounde has contract till 2030 and barcelona is a beautiful place to live. Its not on us, it is a player decision.Mingueza for free is interesting, he'd help with depth.

I think selling Kounde, Araujo and letting go of Christensen could cover getting Mingueza + Guehi + Schlotterbeck for example and we would be much better in defense.
I like kounde and don’t want him to leaveI think Kounde has a market and he could even prefer somewhere like London or Paris where he can go to his faggy fashion shows. He was on the verge of signing for Chelsea. But I know it won't happen, guys like Deco aren't capable of completing a revolution in defense like I suggested.
Worst take ever...Why are people worried about Balde when Kounde is much worse and a much bigger problem?
Balde can't defend at all,with him Barca has no chance of ever winning Champions League.
On current form, yes.
The only issue with him, is he has not shown he can play well in a back 4 or maybe he has not been given the opportunity to often enough.
But if they both hit peak form, I'm taking balde over him, balde has all the tools to he a top LB
