On-loan Barcelona star could return for next season | OneFootball

A member of the loan army at La Liga giants Barcelona could be in line for a return to base in Catalunya’s capital for next season.

That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who point towards Álex Valle as the player in question.

Defender Valle has for his part spent the season to date out on a pair of separate loan stints.

After spending the opening half of the term with Celtic in Scotland – during which he notched five assists in 20 appearances – the youngster went on to link up with Cesc Fàbregas’ Como in January.

And Valle’s performances, all told, are understood to have impressed those in the boardroom back at Barcelona.

As per a report from MD, whilst no final decision has been made as of yet:

‘Of Barça ‘s three loan players for the 2024-2025 season, Álex Valle is the only one with a chance of returning to stay. Bojan is currently evaluating the left-back, and his monitoring of his progress has provided more than acceptable results.’

It is also noted that, in Germany, Borussia Dortmund have long been expressing a keen interest in Valle’s talents.
