Como 1907 Secures Loan Deal with Barcelona for Álex Valle

Como 1907 is pleased to announce the agreement with FC Barcelona for the loan of Álex Valle until the end of the current season. The 20-year-old Spanish left-back is currently on loan at Celtic who are currently sitting top of Scottish Premiership.

Álex Valle is a product of Barcelona’s esteemed La Masia academy, which he joined in 2014 from CE Sant Gabriel. He made his senior debut with Barcelona B in March 2022 and has since gained valuable experience through loan spells at FC Andorra and Levante UD. In August 2024, Valle joined Celtic FC on a season-long loan, making 11 appearances and providing three assists.

Head coach Cesc Fàbregas commented on the loan deal, “Álex is a talented young defender with a solid foundation from his time at Barcelona and valuable experience gained during his loan at Celtic. His ability to contribute both defensively and offensively will be a great asset to our squad.”

On joining Álex Valle said: “I’m delighted to be here and excited about the project being built at Como 1907. I really like the style of play here and I think it suits me well. I spoke with Fàbregas, and he has given me a lot of confidence. I believe we share the same vision. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead and can’t wait to get on the pitch with my new teammates”.
