Cesc Fàbregas' team would be interested in adding one of the players on loan from FC Barcelona for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. Is this operation feasible?
For FC Barcelona, the presence of Álex Valle has been a name that has stirred mixed feelings. The left-back native of Badalona had a great pre-season in 2024-25 under the guidance of Hansi Flick.
However, despite showing an interesting level of play, he did not manage to secure a place in the culé's sports project for this season. The Catalan team remained with just two options to reinforce the left side: Alejandro Balde, the usual starter in that position, and Gerard Martín, who acts as his substitute.
This situation led Barcelona to seek the necessary alternatives for Álex Valle to continue the growth of his career. Facing Celtic Glasgow's request for a loan, the culé team decided to let him go, but only for a season with the aim of maintaining some control over him and, who knows, betting on him in the future, remembering that the player is currently linked to the Blaugrana entity until 2025, but with the option to extend it for two more years.
Álex Valle could change teams in this winter market
However, Álex Valle's reality at Celtic Glasgow has been less smooth than expected, to the point that it would not be surprising to see him change teams in this same winter market. According to information disclosed by the Italian sports journalist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, the left-back could be on the radar of one of the emerging clubs in Serie A, specifically Como.
The team led by Cesc Fàbregas apparently is interested in trying to acquire the services of Álex Valle, initially opting for a loan without a purchase option. Barça would have future plans for the player, whom Hansi Flick wants to see in the 2025-26 pre-season.
Another loan could be positive for the native of Badalona
It is worth noting that Álex Valle's situation at Celtic could become even more complicated in the 2024-25 season, where he has not managed to establish himself as the team's regular left-back, playing 18 matches (993 minutes) and providing a total of five assists.
Nevertheless, he has not managed to displace Greg Taylor from the starting position. At the same time, Celtic would be trying to sign Arsenal's left-back, Kieran Tierney, in this winter market, suggesting that the playing opportunities for the Blaugrana academy graduate would be limited.
We will have to wait and see if this transaction, which does not have a clearly defined scenario, comes to a successful conclusion. This would be beneficial for Álex Valle, who would join a team that strongly invests in young talents with great potential. He would compete with a veteran like Alberto Moreno. Additionally, the presence of a former Culé player like Sergi Roberto in the team would likely facilitate his integration into Cesc Fàbregas' sports project.
