Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Balde.
Judged on this season alone, Balde graded 38 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga, on 8 clean sheets and 2.401 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 27 → 38). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 86, top 7% of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga. At 22 Balde is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 150.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Balde missed 6 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 86.1, Balde carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga (top 7%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~158), then tapers with age. At 22, Balde sits on 150.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Balde's projected Rating — 86.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
