La Liga
FC Barcelona has taken a strategic step by renewing the contract of Álex Valle and sending him on loan to Celtic de Glasgow. The young fullback, who returned to Barça after his loan spell at Levante, has seen his connection with the club extended until 2026. This renewal, which includes a one-year extension to his original contract, will allow the club to retain control over his future while gaining experience in the Scottish league.
A new departure at FC Barcelona
Valle, who had showcased his versatility by being used as a right-back during the preseason under the guidance of Hansi Flick, ultimately did not find space in the starting lineups in the first official LaLiga matches. With Gerard Martín surpassing him in internal competition, Barça has chosen to loan him to Celtic, where it is expected he will have more playing time to continue his development.
The Scottish club will cover his entire wages, amounting to 1.5 million euros, an investment that demonstrates confidence in Valle's potential. This loan will not only allow Valle to gain experience in a competitive league but also provides Barça with the opportunity to closely monitor his progress with an eye towards a potential return to the first team in the future.
