On a season-long loan from Barcelona, Celtic has acquired defender Alex Valle. After spending the previous season on loan with Levante, the highly-regarded 20-year-old completed his transfer to the Scottish champions by signing a new contract at Barca. He joins Viljami Sinisalo and Kasper Schmeichel as Celtic’s third new additions to the current campaign. Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah have already completed transfers following loan stints from the previous campaign.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has promised to add more players before Friday’s 11 p.m. transfer deadline. This week, the Hoops sold Matt O’Riley to Brighton for a Scottish transfer record. Greg Taylor will face competition from Valle, who participated in 29 games in the Spanish second division last season.
Celtic complete loan move for Barcelona’s Alex Valle
After Viljami Sinisalo, Paulo Bernardo, and Kasper Schmeichel signed, Adam Idah became the most recent player from Norwich City to join Celtic Park. Alex Valle, who was previously at Barcelona on loan, has now been added by the Bhoys, according to Fabrizio Romano. Additionally, the player’s photo wearing the club shirt was posted by the reputable journalist.
After graduating from Barcelona’s academy, Valle has made an impression with his reserve team exploits. Valle was brought in to give Greg Taylor, who has started their first three league games this year, some competition. For a club record £30 million, Celtic just sold Matt O’Riley to Brighton & Hove Albion. In order to add additional players to Celtic Park before the deadline on Friday, manager Brendan Rodgers has stated that the cash will be spent.
