Celtic is nearing a loan deal with Barcelona.

Brendan Rodgers
Barcelona’s young left-back Álex Valle has reportedly signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2026. Following his loan at Levante UD last season, Valle is now set to join Celtic on loan for the 2024/25 season. Celtic, having failed to secure deals for Liverpool’s Owen Beck and Wolves’ Hugo Bueno, see Valle as a key target to strengthen their left-back position. Valle, who impressed in Spain’s Segunda División, will benefit from regular first-team football at Celtic, gaining experience in both the Scottish Premiership and European competitions.

If reports from DeportivoMundo are correct, Valle is expected to join Celtic early next week, giving him a chance to integrate into Brendan Rodgers’ squad. This addition would address Celtic’s need for depth and competition at left-back. For Valle, this move represents an opportunity to advance his career on a larger stage, while Celtic gains a promising young talent to bolster their defense.
