Alex Valle, who has been on a season-long loan from Barcelona, will be announced by Celtic. The 20-year-old made the trip to Glasgow yesterday, and according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, the Barcelona prospect has signed a contract with Celtic after completing a medical.
Romano has confirmed on Twitter/X that Celtic will reveal the left-back tomorrow.
When Valle arrives, he will provide Greg Taylor competition for the left-back position in the Celtic defence. The 20-year-old is highly regarded by Barca, who signed him to a new contract before approving the loan. He spent the previous season on loan with Levante in the Spanish second division.
The agreement is the first made in the last week of the transfer window, but the team hopes to finalise several more, especially in light of Matt O’Riley’s £30 million move to Brighton. In an attempt to bolster its roster in the last days of the transfer window, Scottish Champions Celtic have placed bids for Arne Engels, Mateusz Bogusz, and Auston Trusty. Brendan Rodgers wants to make sure the team has all it needs to compete in Europe and maintain its leadership in the country.
