Cesc Fàbregas signs another culé for Como 1907

The future of Álex Valle has taken an unexpected turn in this winter transfer market. The left-back, who had left the ranks of FC Barcelona last summer to seek minutes at Celtic Glasgow, made the decision to break his ties with the Scottish club due to not having the regularity he expected and has set course for Italy, where he will join Cesc Fàbregas at Como 1907.

This was reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who stated that only a few details remain to be resolved for the Italian club to officially announce the arrival of the La Masia graduate. The player will land at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on loan until the end of the season, and the blue and maroon entity remains the owner of his rights. The player's contract expires in 2026 and includes a buyout clause of 6 million euros in case any club wants to acquire 100% of his rights.

The transfer of Valle does not free up salary margin

Valle arrives at a team where he could fit like a glove. With 'BARÇA DNA', Fàbregas has built a team that plays well with the ball and utilizes the wings a lot, so the player could benefit. Additionally, the presence of the former blaugrana midfielder on the bench, alongside another ex-culé like Sergi Roberto, will facilitate his adaptation and growth.

This move, however, will not allow the Catalans to free up salary margin as it is merely an extension of a simple loan. To gain financial 'fair play', Barça must finalize some sale or the loan of a player from the current squad, so the offices at Spotify Camp Nou will continue working to achieve this goal and be able to face the signing of some reinforcement before the winter window closes.
